Schweinefleisch-Souvlaki

Zutaten

• 5 medium size pork tenderloins (See notes below)
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp dry oregano
• 1 teaspoon steak spice (we use Montreal steak spice. See notes below.)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 3/4 cups vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup Greek olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dry Greek oregano
• 3 tbsp lemon juice

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Prepare your tenderloins by removing as much of the silvery skin as you can from the pork.

2. 2

   Cut into 1 inch cubes, trying to keep each cube relatively the same size.

3. 3

   combine: In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil and salt, oregano, Montreal steak spice and pepper. Mix well. Add the pork cubes and mix well so that all pieces get coated by the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight.

4. 4

   drain: When you are ready to skewer the pork (after it has marinated as indicated above), allow the pork to drain in a colander for 30 minutes. Drain your pork into a large bowl if you are planning to roast potatoes. You can use this drained liquid in your roasting pan with the potatoes for added flavour.

5. 5

   soak: While the pork is draining, soak your wooden skewers in a bowl of cold water.

6. 6

   skewer: After draining, begin skewering your pork. The number of pork pieces you will add to each skewer will depend upon its length, but a good rule of thumb is to ensure that you leave about 1 – 1 1/2 empty inches on either end.

7. 7

   Grill your pork souvlaki, on either a charcoal or gas bbq, on medium heat, until cooked through, turning often. The pork is ready when it has only a hint of pink on the inside.

8. 8

   prepare: While the souvlakia are cooking, prepare your ladolemono (olive oil and lemon sauce) by mixing together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice and oregano. Set aside.

9. 9

   pour: Once cooked, place your souvlaki on a serving platter and pour the ladolemono over them.

10. 10

    Serve with a lemon wedges, pita bread and tzatziki, if desired.

    Enjoy!
