Sweet, smoky, and juicy pork tenderloin skewers paired with caramelized peaches, perfect for easy summer BBQs and quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large ripe peaches, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme if using.
  2. Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin and cut into 1-inch cubes. Cut peaches into wedges roughly the same size.
  3. Toss pork cubes into the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C). Oil the grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Thread the skewers alternating pork cubes and peach wedges, leaving small gaps for heat circulation.
  6. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and peaches are caramelized.
  7. Remove skewers and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Avoid over-marinating pork to prevent mushy texture. Keep grill temperature medium-high to avoid burning peaches. Turn skewers gently to keep peaches from falling off. If no grill is available, broil skewers in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway.
