Instructions
Prepping The Skewers
- Chop the bell pepper and onion into large chunks that are about an inch wide then set to the side. Drain the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple chunks in a small bowl and set the juice to the side. Chop the pineapple sliced into chunks that are about an inch wide and set to the side.
- Remove the silver skin from the pork by sliding your knife carefully along the edge under the long silver connective tissue that runs most of the length of the pork as it can be tough. See instructions for how to remove the silver skin here.
- Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and set to the side.
Making And Preparing The Marinade
- In a medium sized mixing bowl add the pineapple juice, sweet chili sauce, oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Whisk until the sauce is combined.
- Place the cubed pork tenderloin in a large zip-top bag. Pour half the marinade over the pork cubes, making sure they are evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. Cover the leftover marinade and refrigerate.
Grilling The Skewers
- Prep your grill by coating evenly with cooking oil. Set your indoor grill pan or grill to medium-high heat. See notes if baking.
- Assemble the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated pork, pineapple chunks, red onion, and bell pepper on the skewers.
- Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill pan. Cook for about 4 minutes per side or about 8 minutes total. Turn as necessary to cook pork evenly. Baste with half of the remaining extra marinade while grilling if desired.
- Test the pork after 8 minutes to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees with a meat thermometer. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- When assembling your skewers, make sure not to overcrowd them on the skewer. Leave a little space between skewers on the grill or grill pan to ensure even cooking. This also helps the marinade on the skewers to carmalize and char evenly.
- You can also bake these skewers in an oven on a foil lined pan sprayed with cooking oil. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, then bake for 20-22 minutes turning halfway through. The pork has finished cooking when the inside of the pork measures 145 degrees with a meat thermometer. I also like to brush the skewers with some of the extra marinade halfway through to help keep them juicy.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20- 30 minutes before assembling the skewers. This can help keep them from accidentally catching on fire on the grill. If you have metal skewers you can use them without soaking.
