Ingredients
- 500 grams pork tenderloin
- 60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 15 ml honey
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 8 wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 2
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, paprika, and olive oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pork for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the hot grill, and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the pork is fully cooked and has grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled pork skewers with your choice of side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
