    Grilled Pork Tenderloin Skewers

    Ontario Pork Tenderloin is a favourite in my kitchen. As meat protein goes, it’s very low in fat & calories, yet it’s so versatile & delicious.

    Pork tenderloin works with flavours from all over the globe and the preparation options are endless. Roast it, bake it, poach it, stew it, braise it, broil it, sear it, grill it, smoke it, stir fry it, deep fry it… you name it, there’s a delicious way to cook pork tenderloin.

    I’ve partnered with Ontario Pork to develop two easy and equally flavourful ways to prepare Pork Tenderloins.

    The first was a ‘dressed up’ recipe: Stuffed Pork Tenderloin in Tomato Sauce.

    But, perhaps you’d prefer a ‘dressed down’ recipe… colourful, beautifully charred pork tenderloin skewers? As pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. The marinade of lime juice, spices, cilantro and honey, develops big flavour in mere minutes and grills up, in just minutes more.

    Prepped skewers on a tray ready for the grill.

    What to serve with Pork Tenderloin Skewers

    • Flavoured rice & peas
    • Sprinkle with roughly chopped cilantro or parsley
    • Pico de Gallo or Salsa Picante
    • Flatbread or naan with hummus

    Equipment

    • 6 10-12” metal skewers (if using wood skewers, pre-soak in water for 1-2 hours).

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 1-pound Ontario Pork Tenderloins silver skin removed, cut into 36 x 1“ cubes
    • 4 tbsp olive oil
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp pepper
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • 2 tbsp honey
    • 2 tbsp BBQ spice use your favourite for pork
    • 1 large garlic clove peeled and minced
    • 4 tbsp finely chopped cilantro or parsley
    • 1 large red bell pepper chopped into 12 x 1“ squares
    • 1 large green bell pepper chopped into 12 x 1“ squares
    • 1 large orange bell pepper chopped into 12 x 1“ squares
    • 1 red onion peeled and chopped into 12-24 x 1“ squares
    • 2 tbsp cooking oil

    Instructions
     

    • Mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, lime juice, honey, BBQ spice, garlic and cilantro.
    • Place the pork cubes in a bowl, toss with olive oil mixture and allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
    • Preheat the grill on high heat and rub grill grates with cooking oil (the honey in the marinade will cause the skewers to stick a little).
    • Prepare each skewer by alternating 6 pieces of marinated pork with 2 pieces each of red, orange & green peppers and 2-4 pieces of red onion. Place the skewers on a tray and pour of any remaining marinade to coat the vegetables.
    • Place the skewers on the grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until all sides are lightly charred and pork is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
