Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1
  • inch cubes 1 cup smoky BBQ sauce 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp hot sauce 1 tbsp yellow mustard 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp black pepper Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine pork shoulder cubes, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, yellow mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat the pork evenly with the seasonings and sauces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  2. Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle to medium high heat. Skewer the marinated pork cubes onto pre soaked wooden skewers, leaving some space between each piece.
  3. Grill the skewered pork over direct heat for 2 3 minutes per side until cooked through and charred. Baste frequently with the leftover marinade to keep it moist and smoky.
  4. Serve immediately on a platter, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch.
