Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

800g pork tenderloin or pork neck (boneless), cut in 2cm chunks (28 ounces)
100ml good-quality olive oil (1/3 of a cup and 1 tbsp)
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp honey
salt and freshly ground pepper
8 wooden skewers
1 cucumber
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 of a cup olive oil
500g of yogurt (18 ounces)
1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar
1-2 tbsps chopped dill (optional)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
8 pita breads
2 red onions, sliced
1 tomato sliced

Steps:

  • To prepare the pork souvlaki (skewers), cut the pork into 2 cm pieces and place them in a large bowl, along with all the marinade ingredients. Use your hands to mix really well, cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce for the pork souvlaki. Pour into a food processor the olive oil and 2 cloves of garlic; blend until the garlic is diluted (don't leave any large pieces of garlic). Into a large bowl, grate the cucumber, season with salt and pepper and leave it aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber into a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of most of the water. Into a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of chopped dill, 1-2 of red wine vinegar, salt and pepper and mix. Tore in the fridge and serve cold.
  • Cut the wooden skewers to fit your griddle pan and soak them in water for 10 minutes. (This will prevent them from burning.) Thread the pieces of pork, comfortably, on the skewers.
  • Preheat a grill or griddle pan on a high heat. Cook the pork skewers for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely coloured and cooked through.
  • While your pork is cooking, prepare the pita breads. Preheat the oven to 250C. Use a cooking brush to oil the pita breads on both sides and season with salt and oregano. Place a large oven tray (upside down) at the bottom of the oven and place the pita breads on top of the tray. Bake for 1-2 minutes.
  • To serve the pork souvlaki (skewers), slice 2 red onions and place on a platter; top with the pork skewers, drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Serve while still warm with some pita breads and tzatziki sauce or wrap them up like a sandwich, adding some tzatziki, sliced onions and tomatoes. Enjoy!

EASY PORK SKEWERS (GRILLED, OVEN OR GRIDDLE)



Easy Pork Skewers (Grilled, Oven or Griddle) image

Tender and juicy pork skewers flavored by delicious pork marinade and cooked to perfection. Grilled, oven baked or prepared on the griddle.

Provided by CraftBeering

Categories     Cooking Tips and How Tos

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs of boneless pork shoulder*
1 large onion
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup flavorful beer (craft pale ale, German dunkel, etc)
7-8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • PREPARE THE PORK SKEWERS1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes. 2. Make a marinade by mixing the marinade ingredients. In a non-reactive container or freezer bag combine the cubed pork with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to overnight. Bring to room temperature before cooking. 3. Cut the onion into thick chunks similar in size to the size of the pork cubes. Thread the skewers** by alternating onions and pork. GRILLED PORK SKEWERS1. Heat your gas grill to medium-hot and lightly brush with oil before you place the skewers on. For charcoal grill wait until the coals turn white. Alternatively heat up a lightly greased grill pan or a griddle over medium-high heat. 2. Place the skewers onto the hot surface. Grill on all sides until the pork cubes are tender and nicely charred. Be patient before you lift them to turn them for the very first time - initially the meat is likely to stick to the surface and will gradually release as it begins to char. OVEN BAKED PORK SKEWERS1. Preheat your oven to 375 - 400 F depending on how strong you know it to be. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on top about 1 inch apart. 2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is tender, turning once or twice. Turn on the broiler and broil the skewers for the last couple of minutes for a nicely browned finish. Turn frequently to make sure the surface doesn't burn. Serve the skewers garnished with fresh herbs and charred lemon - a little citrusy squeeze really brightens up the flavors of the pork skewers. Remind everyone to handle them with caution - the ends will be hot!

THE BEST MARINADE FOR KABOBS! (BEEF, PORK AND LAMB)



The Best Marinade for Kabobs! (Beef, Pork and Lamb) image

I have a few favorite marinades that I have used for years this is one of them, this marinade will tenderize and add flavor to any cut of meat to absolute perfection and makes fantastic kabobs! This can also be used for chicken but because of the vinegar amount marinading time will need to be reduced to a maximum of 6 hours or the acid vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken, use only honey no other substitutions!.. you will love this marinade!

A simple, excellent recipe for grilled pork tenderloin kebabs. Learn our tips and tricks for flavorful and tender, crowd pleasing shish kabobs.

Provided by Natasha Kravchuk

Categories     Easy/Medium

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 lb pork tenderloin (trimmed and cut into 1 1/2" pieces)
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion (cut into 1" pieces)
1 Tbsp fresh parsley to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl (or ziploc bag), combine chopped pork, 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and stir until well combined. Separate onion pieces and add them to the bowl. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • Thread the kabobs onto metal skewers*, alternating between meat and onion. For even browning, the meat and onions should be just touching on the skewers and not crowded together. Let your skewers stay at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing on the grill.
  • Preheat your grill to Medium/high heat (400˚F). Add skewers in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes total. Meat skewers turn like a triangle so we cook about 3 minutes per side on all 3 sides. Grill until cooked through and meat reaches at least 145˚F internal temperature. Rest skewers 3 minutes before serving.
