Authentic Souvlaki Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1 medium lemon, juiced
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 2 medium yellow onions, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 medium green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
• skewers

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the souvlaki.
2. In a large glass bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried oregano to create the marinade.
3. Add the cubed pork, sliced onions, and bell peppers to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
5. Take the marinated pork and vegetables from the bowl, gently shaking off any excess marinade. Thread them onto skewers, alternating between the pork, onions, and bell peppers. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook, turning them regularly to ensure even cooking, until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. This should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
