Grilled Teriyaki Pork Kabobs

My goodness, these grilled Teriyaki pork kabobs came out tasty! Just the perfect teriyaki flavor.. yummy! I can stop my search for the perfect teriyaki marinade and basting sauce now because this is the one! The marinade isn’t just great on pork, either. Cubes of chicken or steak are fantastic too, so feel free to mix it up. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli.

If you don’t have a grill, just cook the meat and veggies in a wok. You can also stir-fry them in a large skillet. Serve the grilled Teriyaki pork kabobs with reserved marinade for drizzling over rice as a sauce.

Get yourself a good set of grill tools for these kabobs and anything else you grill. You won’t regret the extra few bucks they cost over the cheap ones that you’re going to have to replace in a few years. I have had several sets of Weber tools for decades and have yet to replace a single one.

Equipment

  • Skewers soaked in water for at least an hour

Ingredients

For the marinade

For the basting sauce

For the kabobs

  • pork tenderloin cubes from above
  • 12 mushrooms
  • 1 sweet onion cut into wedges
  • 1 pineapple cut into bite-sized cubes

Instructions

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients. Add pork and place into a large resealable baggie or container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Prepare the basting sauce by combining all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Set up your grill for indirect and direct cooking.
  • Thread meat and vegetables onto skewers. I like to keep my ingredients separate (some people don’t like mushrooms, or some ingredients may need a little longer to cook), but feel free to alternative them on a single skewer.
  • Sear over direct heat then move to indirect heat and cook until the pork reaches 150 F, turning and basting with the basting sauce often.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, just cook the meat and veggies in a wok. Serve with reserved marinade for drizzling over rice as a sauce.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Salsa

I have to say that this grilled pork tenderloin with cherry salsa not only came out tasting fantastic, it was mighty pretty looking too! The cherry salsa on top really made this dish, and would also go well on grilled crostinis. The pork was crazy tender, tasty and juicy. All-in-all, this was a great, simple dish to make that far exceeded my expectations! I was striving to up my grilled pork game. And I was looking to improve my plating skills. Well, I think I got both down pretty darned good with this dish! And ya know, it wasn’t that hard to do, either!

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Cherry Salsa

I’d use the marinade portion of this recipe for grilled pork tenderloin with cherry salsa on other meats. It’d be great on pork chops or chicken. This is a great reason to fire up my Weber grill (not that I needed an excuse!).

I know some folks (like my wife) aren’t used to pork having a slight pink color inside. That’s safe now. You don’t have to over-cook your pork like before to make sure it’s ok to eat. Well, ok but not good because in the old days you really had to overcook it. Not any more.
