Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. pork shoulder, sliced into thin pieces

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 cup lemon juice

  • 1 cup banana ketchup

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • 1 cup honey

  • 25 bamboo skewers

Directions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, pineapple juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, banana ketchup, and soy sauce. Stir until well combined.

  2. Marinate the Pork: Reserve 1 cup of the marinade for the glaze. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork slices, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Massage the marinade into the meat, then refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally for best results.

  3. Soak the Skewers: Before grilling, soak the bamboo skewers in water to prevent them from burning.

  4. Skewer the Pork: Thread 4 to 5 slices of marinated pork onto each skewer.

  5. Make the Glaze: Combine the reserved cup of marinade with 1 cup of honey, and set aside.

  6. Grill the Skewers: Cook the skewers over indirect heat for 3-5 minutes. Baste with the glaze, then turn and grill for another 3-5 minutes. For a crispy finish, place the skewers over direct heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve your skewers as is, or pair them with a spicy vinegar dip for an extra kick.
