souvlaki.

Execution:

  1. marinade.

  • Generously season each slice of pork with salt.

  • Combine all marinade ingredients together and add to pork, let marinate for 1-3 hours.

  • Stack each piece of meat on top of each other and keep together using skewers.

2. cook.

  • Gas Grill: Preheat your grill to a medium flame until the thermometer reads 400-500°F. Place the pork onto oiled grates and rotate it until it's charred and browned all over, continuously basting it with the remaining marinade. Once you achieve an even bark, move the pork to the upper level of the grill and let it cook until the interior reaches a temperature of 155°F.

    Charcoal Grill: Light your coals and add your preferred wood, such as hickory or applewood. Once the coals are hot, place the pork onto oiled grates and rotate it until it's charred and browned all over, while continuously basting it with the remaining marinade. Grill until the interior reaches a temperature of 155°F.

    Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the pork on a wire rack set on top of a baking tray. Roast it for a total of 30-40 minutes, or until the interior reaches a temperature of 155°F. Continuously rotate the pork to achieve even browning.

3. serve.
