Instructions

1-Make the marinade: Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, oil, smoked paprika, and pepper until sugar dissolves.

2-Marinate the pork: Place pork cubes in a bag or dish, pour marinade over, and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.

3-Prepare the produce: Cut pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch chunks; keep separate from raw meat.

4-Preheat the grill: Heat grill to medium-high (350-400°F) and oil the grates.

5-Thread the skewers: Drain pork from marinade, then alternately thread pork, pineapple, pepper, and onion onto skewers.

6-Mix the glaze: Stir together barbecue sauce and honey in a small bowl until combined.

7-Grill the skewers: Cook skewers 8-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes for even charring.

8-Apply the glaze: Brush glaze on skewers during the last 2 minutes; let it set and caramelize.

9-Check doneness: Remove skewers when pork reaches 145°F internal temperature.

10-Rest and serve: Tent loosely with foil and rest 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

🔪 Cut pork into even 1-inch cubes so every piece finishes cooking at the same time and nothing dries out.
🍍 Use fresh pineapple only and never marinate it—canned fruit is too soft and will fall apart on the grill instead of caramelizing.
🌡️ Pull the skewers at exactly 145°F internal temperature and let them rest 3 to 5 minutes so the juices settle back into the meat.
