Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 Green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 Red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, dried oregano, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and green bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated pork, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the soaked wooden skewers.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the skewers with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or brown rice, for a complete meal.
