Tender Pork Kabobs Recipe – marinated with wine or beer and grilled to perfection. Perfect for a summer barbecue.
Hey Guys! Happy Monday! Can you believe Memorial Day Weekend is just a few days away!
This means (hopefully) nice weather, fun and good food.
Can’t wait to fire up the grill and make some pork kabobs!
People around me seem to be obsessed with kabobs/kebabs. So am I.
When it comes to grilling, these are one of my favorite things to prepare.
I’ll be honest, not everyone eats the veggies on the skewer, but I do.
I sometimes don’t even bother to add them and just put meat on it, but for the purpose of the pictures, I did today.
I grew up eating pork pretty often.
I know it isn’t some people’s favorite meat, but I used to love it. Now, I don’t cook it very often.
Maybe like once every 2 months.
But I like to marinate it for kabobs.
This is my go-to recipe for a pork meat marinade and I love how tender and flavorful these turn every time.
The interesting thing is that I’ve tried making the marinade with either white wine (I know pork is red meat and goes well with red wine, but not in this recipe) or beer.
The flavor is slightly different, but both produce tender pieces of meat.
Feel free to try either way. The other ingredients in the recipe are the same, you just switch the wine with beer.

I cannot believe it’s memorial day almost – where has the time gone eh?! 🙂
But, I am looking forward to enjoying all the summer eats – and these will definitely be on my list as I am loving that wine marinade!
There’s a lot of kabob making in this house during the summer and I always love a marinade that uses wine – that means some for the marinade and some for me 😉 Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, Mira!
I love these kabobs! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Mira this is soon beautiful!!! I was a huge lover of pork myself! Loved Kabobs or Shishkeek as we called it! And as long as I can remember…even back in the old country…my mom made it out of pork. Always the picnic roast as they call the cut! I love the color and the charred veggies on this! Absolute yumminess!
All of your kebabs are very delicious. Love them!
