Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (approx. 450g) cut into 3cm cubes

Marinade:

  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1.5 tsp  smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp  fine sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper

To serve (optional):

  • flatbreads kebab bread or pitta breads – lightly toasted
  • houmous – shop bought or homemade 
  • tzatziki – shop bought or homemade 
  • salad leaves or lettuce shredded
  • garlic mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the cubes of pork. Stir to mix well, ensuring all the pork is seasoned. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
  • Thread the cubes of meat on to metal skewers or wooden skewers (NOTE: if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning). Cook on a hot BBQ or under a hot grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning 2 to 3 times, until cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter or plate and rest for 5 minutes to retain juiciness. Serve with your choice of bread, sauces and salad.

Notes

  • Optional marinade add-ins – try adding some red wine vinegar or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra tenderising.  For extra spice, add some chilli flakes or harissa paste. 
  • Optional veggies – add pieces of red onion, peppers or courgette for colour and balance. 
  • Skewers – remember to soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes when cooking on a BBQ or under the grill. 
  • This easy Greek pork skewers recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
