Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic cloves, low sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 4
Add the pork cubes to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the pork is cooked through and tender.
Step 8
While the skewers are grilling, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the skewers hot, alongside grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
