Filipino BBQ Pork Skewers
If you want to make a delicious recipe at your next BBQ that will wow everyone, these Filipino BBQ Skewers are it. I’ve tried this 7-Up marinade with beef, pork and chicken and it’s great on everything! Other skewers I love all summer are grilled Salmon Kebabs, Steak Kebabs with Chimichurri, and Pesto Chicken Skewers.
Ingredients You Will Need:
This is everything you’ll need to make these BBQ Filipino pork skewers. See exact measurements in the recipe card below.
Marinade: It seems like a lot of sugar and soy sauce, but most of the marinade gets discarded. I measured the marinade before and it was 2 cups, and after, it was 2 tablespoons left. I adjusted this in the nutritional info. Pork: Tommy’s friend uses fattier cuts of pork, but I found boneless pork ribs had just enough fat. Feel free to use whatever cut you wish.
Pork – I use country style pork ribs but you can use any pork with some marbling. You can also use chicken or beef, instead. 7-Up Marinade: 7-up soda helps tenderize the pork and is commonly used in may recipes. It also adds sweetness. Soy sauce and a savory, saltiness to the pork. White vinegar, and lemon add acidity. Brown sugar gives it the perfect balance of sweentness, while garlic, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (optional) enhance the flavor.
