Pork Tenderloin and Pineapple Kabobs

It’s grilling season and I am always on the hunt for new favorites.  This marinade would work with shrimp, or beef as well.  The nutrition info I’ve given you is for pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or more if you like it HOT)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 red bell peppers cut into cubes
• 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
• 20 cubes of fresh cut pineapple
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
• 3 green onions thinly sliced for garnish
• 10 skewers - if you use bamboo soak them in water for about 20 minutes before using so they don’t burn up on the grill

Directions:

1. In a large Ziploc bag add the first 8 ingredients (soy sauce through garlic)
2. Then add the pork cubes, seal and shake together to combine well and coat the pork. 
3. Refrigerate for one hour, turning occasionally
4. Heat your outdoor grill (or indoor grill pan) and lightly grease the grates with non stick cooking spray
5. Thread the skewers with the marinated pork, pineapple and red pepper, alternating back and forth
6. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side until fully cooked
7. Garnish with the green onions and sesame seeds and serve
