Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 2 pieces red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 piece red onion, sliced into 1-inch rings
• 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 2

Trim excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut it into 1-inch-thick medallions.

Step 3

Place the pork medallions in a large resealable plastic bag or container, pour the marinade over them, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 5

While the grill is heating, prepare your vegetables: slice zucchini into rounds about 1/2-inch thick, cut red bell peppers into 1-inch squares, and slice red onion into thick rings.

Step 6

Lightly brush the vegetable pieces with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt to enhance flavor.

Step 7

Thread the marinated pork medallions and vegetables onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables to create colorful patterns.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

To serve, carefully remove the ingredients from each skewer and stack them into towers on individual plates. Start with zucchini rounds as the base, layer with pork medallions, bell peppers, and onion slices.

Step 11

Optional: Drizzle any remaining marinade (cooked in a small saucepan for 1-2 minutes) over the towers for added flavor and serve immediately.
