Ingredients

Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Kabobs

3 lb center cut pork loin trimmed
1 fresh pineapple cut into chunks*

Sauce

3/4 cup prepared bbq sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

In a bowl or in a ziplock bag, combine the soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, olive oil, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Mix to combine.
1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cut the pork loin into 1-inch cubes. Add the pork to the bag with the marinade. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, turning as often as possible.
3 lb center cut pork loin
Turn on a grill to medium heat. Let it preheat while assembling the kabobs.
Remove the pork from the marinade. (Discard any remaining marinade - there shouldn’t be a lot.)
Thread the pork and the pineapple onto metal skewers. I will usually do two pieces of pork, then one piece of pineapple.
1 fresh pineapple
In a bowl, combine the bbq sauce, soy sauce, and ginger.
3/4 cup prepared bbq sauce, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Place the kabobs on the grill and baste the top with the bbq sauce mixture. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn the kabobs and brush with the sauce again. Close the lid and cook another 5 minutes. Turn the kabobs one more time, brushing with the remaining sauce. Close and cook for 5 more minutes. Check the temperature of the pork - remove once it hits 145ºF.

Notes

*You may not use the whole pineapple. Just use as much as you’d like.

If using wooden skewers, you will want to soak them for 30 minutes before using.

If using metal skewers, be careful when serving, as the metal will be hot.
