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.

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 . . . .

- 2 1/2 to 3 pounds 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” )
