Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon onion, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Directions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the pork cubes in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered with white ash before grilling.
- Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each cube.
- Grill the pork skewers for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside. Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade every few minutes for added flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures tender and juicy pork.
- Serve the pork barbeque skewers hot alongside steamed rice, grilled vegetables, and a side of your favorite barbeque sauce. Enjoy!
