on Jun 17, 2015, Updated Sep 28, 2021 12 Comments Thinking of cooking supper on the grill immediately makes me think of summertime, fun with friends and family, and relaxing meals. I think it’s the mingling of the smells from the grill with fresh cut grass, gardenias blooming and all of the sounds of outside that just puts everyone in a more relaxed mood. At least it does me. Anytime we have the opportunity, you better believe we crank up the grill and head outside. I also love that as hot and humid as it gets in Georgia throughout the summer, cooking outside prevents me from heating up the kitchen by using the cooktop or the oven. The less heat I add to the day – the better! And let’s face it, my husband generally takes over whenever grilling is concerned, so it makes the entire experience more fun since we are cooking together. The other night, we all got in late from various activities and were all exhausted, hungry and ready to relax by the time we walked in the door. Thankfully, I’d thought a wee bit ahead and had marinated a pork tenderloin in the refrigerator for that night’s supper of pork tenderloin skewers. I used my teriyaki sauce as a marinade for fresh pork tenderloin for these skewers and it was the perfect match! To make my skewers, I simply cut the pork tenderloin in half lengthwise and then skewered it along with chunks of fresh pineapple, onions, and peppers and popped them onto the grill. I served them along with quinoa that I cooked while the grilled pork tenderloin was cooking and within 20 minutes from start to finish, we had a full meal ready to go! Since the pork tenderloin was seasoned, the meal was full of flavor and a definite favorite for my family not only throughout the summer but on into the fall for busy school nights and weekends tailgating before the game. It is a definite keeper around here! Here’s the printable Easy Grilled Pork Tenderloin Skewers recipe card for you. I think you’ll love these as much as we do!
