Grilled Pork Kebabs With Ginger Molasses Barbecue Sauce Recipes

GRILLED PORK KEBABS WITH GINGER MOLASSES BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make barbecue sauce:
• Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Prepare and grill pork kebabs:
• Put tenderloin on a cutting board. Starting about 5 inches from narrow end of tenderloin and holding a large sharp knife at a 30-degree angle to cutting board, cut a thin slice (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick) from tenderloin, slicing diagonally toward narrow end and cutting through to cutting board. Continue to cut thin slices from tenderloin following same diagonal, starting each consecutive slice closer to wide end. (You will have about 12 slices. Cut any slices more than 2 inches wide in half lengthwise.)
• Thread 2 skewers, 1 at a time and 1/2 to 1 inch apart, lengthwise through each slice of pork and transfer to a tray lined with plastic wrap.
• If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle pork slices with salt and brush both sides with barbecue sauce, then grill on oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes total. Discard any leftover sauce.

MARINATED GRILLED BBQ PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Place cut pork shoulder in a gallon sized resealable bag.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, pepper and ginger ale.
• Pour marinade in the bag over pork.
• Seal bag and place in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours, or overnight.
• Remove pork from bag and thread onto bamboo skewers that have soaked in water for 20 minutes (to prevent charring).
• Heat grill to high heat and grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, rotating during cooking, until cooked through.

GRILLED SCALLIONS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Toss scallions with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Line up scallions side by side on a work surface and thread skewers, 1 at a time, crosswise through all scallions to form a solid rectangle. (Skewers should be inserted about 2 inches from each end.) Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once or twice, until softened and charred in patches, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer scallions to a platter and squeeze lemon evenly over them, then remove skewers.

BARBECUED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar, soy sauce, onion, garlic and black pepper together in a large bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Overnight is best if possible.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread the pork onto the soaked skewers. Cook on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

GRILLED PORK KEBABS WITH BARBECUE GLAZE(COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)

Steps:

• Toss pork and salt together in large bowl and let sit for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk ketchup, sugar, chili powder, cornstarch, liquid smoke, and cayenne together in bowl. Set aside 1½ tablespoons ketchup mixture.
• Add remaining ketchup mixture to pork and toss to coat. Thread pork onto four 12-inch metal skewers, leaving ¼ inch between pieces. Spray both sides of meat generously with oil spray.
• FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes.
• FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn off other burner(s).
• Clean and oil cooking grate. Place skewers on hotter side of grill and grill until well charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip skewers, brush with reserved ketchup mixture, and continue to grill until second side is well charred and meat registers 140 degrees, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer to serving platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

GRILLED PORK KABOBS

Steps:

• GRILL DIRECTIONS: Heat grill. Sprinkle both sides of each pork chop with seasoned salt; cut each chop into 4 pieces. Alternately thread pork pieces, zucchini, mushrooms and bell pepper evenly onto four 12 to 14-inch metal skewers. In small bowl, combine preserves and vinegar; blend well.
• When ready to grill, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Brush with preserves mixture. Cook 5 minutes. Turn kabobs; brush with remaining preserves mixture. Cook an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. If desired, serve over hot cooked rice.

PAN-GRILLED PORK KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees; place a baking sheet in oven. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Stir in peas, and heat briefly to warm through.
• Alternately thread pork and orange chunks onto eight 6-inch skewers; season with salt and pepper. Heat grill pan to medium; brush with 2 teaspoons oil. Cook half the skewers until pork is opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes per side; transfer to oven to keep warm. Brush grill pan with 2 teaspoons oil; cook remaining skewers.
• In a small bowl, whisk together honey and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Reserve half of sauce for dipping.
• Working in 2 batches, return skewers to grill pan, and heat over high, brushing with sauce, until glazed, about 2 minutes. Serve with rice and reserved sauce.
