Spicy Pork Skewers
Ingredients:
- 1½ lbs pork tenderloin, sliced into ½ inch rounds
- 12-16 bamboo skewers (depending on how many pieces of meat you put on each skewer)
For the marinade:
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Sriracha Hot Chili Hot Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Psycho Soy
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
For garnish: (optional)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Soak your bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes. If you don’t, your skewers will catch fire. Literally. Do not forget to do this, people.
- Start by mixing all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Set the marinade aside while you prepare your skewers.
- Slice your pork tenderloin into ½ inch rounds. Thread the rounds onto the bamboo skewers. I tend to put 3-4 rounds on each “kebab,” but the choice is yours. I also like to use 2 skewers for each “kebab” to help the meat lie flat and add some extra stability.
- Place the skewers in a large Ziploc bag (or a shallow baking dish) and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Obviously, the longer you can let them marinate, the better. You know this.
- Remove your skewers from the Ziploc bag, reserving the marinade, and place them on a lightly oiled grill or grill pan. Grill for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until it takes on a syrupy consistency (about 3 minutes). Drizzle over your kebabs. This “sauce-making” step is optional, but I highly recommend it. The sauce is bomb.
- Sprinkle your kebabs with scallions and go wild.
