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 were wanting to grill out.
For this recipe, you will need pork sirloin, Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon or lime, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red wine, garlic, fresh ginger, salt, and pepper.
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. 🙂
Pork Kebabs – Spiedini di Maiale Marinating
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 1/2 inch cubes and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for about a 1 1/2 hours.
Pork Kebabs – Spiedini di Maiale threaded and Ready to Grill
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 – Spiedini di Maiale
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 1/2 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 . . . .

- 3 lbs Pork sirloin tip roast cubed in 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 Tablespoons country-style Dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice if using lime don't marinate for very long - it will "cook"
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 Tablespoon peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
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 1/2 hour before grilling. Thread the cubes on skewers.
-
Grill over high heat - 400 F - for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side depending on the size of your pork cubes.
-
Place on platter and tent with foil. Allow to rest for five minutes before removing the pork from the skewers.
-
Serve with your favorite side and enjoy!

Oh these look amazing! I’ll definitely be adding this to our next meal plan. Yummy!
Looks yummy Marissa! We have kebabs a lot in the summer and it’s something my whole family likes and it’s quick and easy. Your marinade sounds great and I’ll give it a try next week. Do you think it would be good with chicken?
These look so good. We grill all year long and I am always looking for new recipes to try.
I love anything on the grill. As long as it’s a BBQ? Yes, please! I must admit I rarely ever BBQ pork. We do chicken, lamb or beef very often. Sometimes fish when we are lucky to get some fresh. But rarely do pork. This sounds so good. Saving this for later. Love that you captured the smoke on the first shot.

That marinade sounds sooo wonderful! What a flavorful dish to end the summer season off with, Marissa! Now I’m dying to grill these up 😀
They are delish!!
Summer and kebabs are the way to go in my books. We love kebabs in all meat types and this sounds so wonderful. Grilling is summer is like therapy cause I hate being in the kitchen. I marinate the meal and hand it over to the men. For a change, someone else is cooking it.
I love kebabs , one of the most amazing food. The marinate sounds amazing and I’m going to try it with chicken. Do you think it’ll work with chicken ?
We grill and BBQ at every opportunity as well. We get so little summer around here, we take advantage of every single minute 🙂 Your recipe looks super tasty. Perfect for all our Labour Day grilling plans!

I must say I love pork very much but we don’t get pork here in Israel and that makes me want it even more.. if you know what I mean? Kebabs are my all time favorite but I have never had pork kebabs. I bet it tasted awesome.
I wish we have a back garden so we can fire up a grill everyday. This kebabs look beyond delicious. Marinade is also amazing – so flavorful. I know it’s best making these on real grill but I can make these on a grill pan too. Yum. Can’t wait!
That is such a delicious looking kebab recipe. Perfect timing for the grilling season. Love the idea of double skewering.
