Ingredients
  

For the Skewers
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the pork, pineapple, red onion, and green bell pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  4. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the pork and vegetables, tossing to cover them evenly.
  5. Thread the pork and vegetables onto skewers, alternating the ingredients.
Cooking
  1. Grill skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  2. Brush with any remaining BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling, if you like.
Serving
  1. Serve hot. Enjoy with a side of rice, salad, or grilled corn.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to use to prevent burning. Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables for variety. Marinating the pork for a few hours or overnight enhances the flavor. You can use chicken or beef instead of pork, adjusting cooking time as needed.
