01 Step
Recipe View
Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large glass bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and oregano until well combined. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Add the cubed pork tenderloin, onion pieces, and bell pepper pieces to the marinade. Stir to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld. (2 hours)
05 Step
Recipe View
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-450°F or 190-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the pork and vegetables from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Thread the pork and vegetables onto skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook, turning frequently to ensure even cooking, until the pork is no longer pink inside and the vegetables are tender-crisp. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes. (15 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. It should reach at least 145°F (63°C). (2 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Once cooked, remove the Souvlaki skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
For best results, marinate the pork for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply.
Soaking wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
Serve the Souvlaki hot off the grill with a side of rice pilaf, Greek salad, or warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms.
