Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the pork cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

4. After marinating, thread the pork, pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
5. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
