Instructions
- In a bowl, pour five tablespoons of white vinegar and crumble 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme.
- Dip the wooden skewers in this marinade for 1h30, so that they do not burn while the meat cooks and they release a great aroma.
- Using a sharp knife, remove all the white membrane that covers the top of the pork (or beef) tenderloin. This step is very important, otherwise the souvlaki would remain hard.
- Cut the meat into small equal size 1-inch (2,5 cm) thick pieces.
- Place the meat in a salad bowl and reserve at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Quarter the onion. Separate the layers and add them to the meat.
- Crumble the remaining rosemary and thyme and add.
- Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil, 5 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Let stand in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill or barbecue.
- Thread the pieces of meat on the wooden skewers by inserting 2 or 3 pieces of onion in between the meat pieces.
- Place them on the barbecue and grill until the meat is cooked and browned.
- Serve with grilled pita bread, onions, tomatoes, fries and tzatziki sauce.
