BBQ Pork Skewers

These BBQ Pork Skewers are a delicious low-carb option, featuring tender marinated pork bites grilled to perfection. Paired with a smoky homemade barbecue sauce, they are perfect for summer grilling or an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• Pork tenderloin - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Worcestershire sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Low-carb barbecue sauce - 100 grams
• Skewers - 4 (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Cut the pork tenderloin into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to create a marinade.
4. Add the pork cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the low-carb barbecue sauce over the skewers.
8. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
