Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
  • 2 pieces bell peppers (any color), cut into chunks
  • 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, coconut aminos, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red onion and bell pepper to create colorful skewers.

Step 6

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve the Paleo grilled pork skewers hot, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
