Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: pita bread tzatziki sauce, chopped fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk well until mixed.
Marinate the Pork
- Add cubed pork to the marinade. Toss well to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the Grill
- Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Skewer the Pork
- Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the Souvlaki
- Place skewers on the hot grill. Cook 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until pork is cooked through and slightly charred.
Serve
- Arrange skewers on a platter. Serve hot with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Marinate pork overnight for maximum flavor and tenderness
- Cut pork evenly for consistent cooking
- Use fresh lemon juice for a bright taste
- Don’t overcrowd the grill to avoid steaming
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor
