Easy grilled Pork Loin Potato Shish Kebabs, boldly seasoned in a flavor-packed marinade . Tender pork, creamy potatoes and crisp asparagus the whole family will love. Cooks in 15 minutes!
Looking for an easy dinner to make on the grill? How about shish kebab? They are not usually the first thing to come to mind, but with tender meat and veggies, they are a super alternative to steaks or chops.
The thing I love most about making shish kebab is how versatile they are. If I have no time, I use smoked sausage, peppers and pineapple chunks that only take minutes to throw together and grill. With time to marinade, these Pork Loin Potato Shish Kebabs are our favorite. The pork loin gets such amazing flavor from the marinade that there is no need to douse them with sauce while grilling. Don’t get me started on how delicious grilled asparagus is. Just too good!
Ingredients to make Pork Loin Potato Shish Kebabs
- Pork Loin – this cut is lean and meaty and just made for a shish kebab!
- Potatoes – we used baby yukon gold potatoes but you can use larger potatoes by cutting them in half or quarters. This variety has super thin skins so no peeling needed!
- Asparagus – this veggies keeps it’s shape after grilling.
- White Wine – we love it for our marinade, but omit it if you don’t want to use wine in your recipe.
- Soy Sauce – adds flavor and saltiness to the marinade.
- Worcestershire Sauce – for a touch of savory.
- Red Wine Vinegar – this is our first choice, but white wine or rice vinegar are great substitutes.
- Honey – every marinade needs a little sweetness.
Pro Tips for the best Pork Loin Shish Kebabs recipe results:
- I say this a lot, but a good meat centered meal starts with quality meat, so use organic pork loin if possible.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of Cayenne to the marinade.
- Cut the meat, potatoes and asparagus the same size to even the cooking time and make turning the skewers over easier.
- Use fresh, minced garlic if possible. Garlic is an integral component of the marinade, and using fresh will give the best result.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
I make this recipe all year round because it doesn’t require an outdoor grill. During cooler months, I use a cast iron grill pan right on the stove top.
