INGREDIENTS
- 2½ to 3 lbs (1.13 to 1.36 kg) cut into 1½-inch cubes pork tenderloin 8 metal or wooden skewers
Marinade
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tbsp liquid honey
- 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp grated gingerroot
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp dark sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated lime zest
METHOD
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together all marinade ingredients until well blended. Reserve ¼ cup marinade for basting kebobs. Pour remaining marinade over pork cubes in a large, heavy-duty, resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and turn several times to coat pork evenly with marinade. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high setting. Thread pork cubes onto skewers and discard marinade in bag. Brush grill rack lightly with oil. Grill kabobs for about 8 minutes total, turning every 2 minutes or so. Baste generously with reserved marinade during last minute of cooking time. Really soak ’em with sauce! Serve hot.
For gluten-free, use GF hoisin sauce and Tamari soy sauce.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least an hour before using to prevent burning.
