For best results, marinate the pork for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. If you don't have access to an outdoor grill, you can cook the souvlaki under a broiler or in a grill pan on the stovetop. Serve the Pork Souvlaki immediately with a side of rice, a refreshing cucumber-tomato salad, and warm pita bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the marinade to create your own unique flavor profile. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine, lemon juice, chopped garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. (2 minutes)
02
StepPour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. (3 minutes)
03
StepMarinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, or for an even more intense flavor, up to 5 days. (24-120 hours)
04
StepWhen ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
05
StepRemove the pork from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade for basting during grilling. (2 minutes)
06
StepThread the pork cubes onto metal skewers, alternating with pieces of broken bay leaves for added aroma. (10 minutes)
07
StepPlace the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade. (10 minutes)
08
StepDiscard any remaining marinade. Continue grilling the skewers until the pork is fully cooked, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes more. (5 minutes)
09
StepFor optimal doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a pork cube should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
10
StepRemove the Pork Souvlaki from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful result.
