Pleakley's Pan-Galactic Pineapple Pork Skewers
A nod to Pleakley's often outlandish yet endearing attempts at understanding Earth customs, these skewers blend savory pork with sweet and tangy pineapple, creating a flavorful and approachable dish. Easy to assemble and grill, it's perfect for a casual family gathering.
Directions
- 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
- 3
Add the pork tenderloin cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
- 5
Thread the marinated pork, pineapple chunks, and red bell pepper pieces onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
- 6
Discard any remaining marinade in the bowl.
- 7
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized, and the pineapple and bell pepper are tender with nice char marks.
- 8
Serve immediately as a main course, perhaps with a side of steamed white rice.
