Grilled Pork Kebabs - Spiedini di Maiale - All Our Way

Published: May 17, 2018 · Modified: Oct 15, 2024 by Marisa Franca

Pork kebabs on grill cooking.

We grill out at every opportunity and our recipe for Grilled Pork Kebabs is fast, easy, and tasty. The last time we used our pork sirloin tip roast we grilled it whole and basted it in a mustard sauce. It turned out delicious. But, this time we wanted to do something a little different. We didn't have a lot of time to fuss with a recipe so we thought kebabs or spiedini would be ideal. All it takes is a bit of marinade to season the meat and the only effort is threading the cubes onto the skewers. When you're short on time, see if marinated meat on kebabs don't solve your problem.

Where did grilled pork kebabs originate?

Spiedini is the Italian for skewered meat grilled over hot coals. When the Middle East conquerors came to Italy they brought with them ingredients and cooking ideas that stayed long after they were gone.

Italians adopted the practice and improved on it -- they just put meat on their skewer.

We've been buying the pork sirloin tip roast four-pack at Costco for quite some time. . . . the price is fairly inexpensive compared to other meats.

The marinade for grilled pork kebabs.

The marinade we used was the same one that we used for the London Broil -- it is a versatile marinade and very quick to put together. . . . and it's delicious.

We cut the pork into 1 ½ inch cubes and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for about a 1 ½ hours.

When we're ready to start the grill, we thread the cubes on skewers. We like the double skewers because the meat doesn't slip and if we do anything with vegetables or shrimp the pieces stay put.

Grilled Pork Kebabs are called Spiedini di Maiale and they are threaded on a skewer and placed on a white platter with rosemary sprigs.

We put the meat directly over the hot coals at about 400°F and turn them 2 minutes on each side. If your chunks are bigger you may have to do it every 2 ½ minutes.

Once the grilled pork kebabs are done, place them on a platter, tent them with foil, and let them rest for several minutes.

Eating well doesn't take a lot of time or effort - I know that my mamma worked full time, took care of us and yet she cooked excellent meals and fed us very well. . . . my mamma felt that . . . .

It doesn't matter if we're cooking in the kitchen or grilling. We really enjoy doing it! We hope you try this recipe.

Next time, try our baked chicken kebabs. They're easy to make and so good. And if you're craving a bit of sweet and sticky sauce, try our outstanding Grilled Asian Chicken Thighs. They have the perfect sauce that will have you licking you fingers.

Instructions

  • Place pork cubes in large glass baking dish.
  • In a small bowl combine mustard, oil lemon or lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, and pepper; using a wire whisk beat well to blend. Pour mixture over pork cubes; turn meat several times to coat well with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for about 1 to 11/2 hours - if you use lime juice make it only for 1 hour, turning the meat occasionally while in the fridge. Take the pork out of the fridge ½ hour before grilling. Thread the cubes on skewers.
  • Grill over high heat - 400 F - for 2 to 2 ½ minutes per side depending on the size of your pork cubes.

  • Serve with your favorite side and enjoy!
