Memorial Day is upon us!! Let the BBQing begin my friends!!! What are you cooking up this weekend? Grilling up? Anything you want to share with this Momma?? We’ve BBQ’ed every Memorial Day for as long as I can remember. We’ve been at the same campground all my life 🙂 Now I get to share that with my own family. Memorial Day was always known as the “Kick-Off” weekend!!
I joined this wonderful group called #SundaySuppers, I wanted to make sure I took part in my very first Sunday Supper on what better than a holiday weekend!!
This week our #SundaySupper Group will be hosting their favorite Memorial Day Menu. From the drinks to the desserts, they all sound amazing!
So I decided to make Grilled Balsamic Pork Kebabs to kick off our Memorial Day Weekend as a fam!!
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup EVOO
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tbsp. finely-chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 28)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut lengthwise into 12 wedges, then each wedge halved
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the EVOO, vinegar, garlic and rosemary.
Add the pork and toss. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. I used a ziplock bag because….well we were camping and that’s what we use! I marinated them for 45 min. Next time I’m going to marinate them longer, simply because they’ll be that much better.
Preheat a grill to medium-high. Season the pork with 3/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Thread onto four 10-inch skewers, alternating with the onion. Lightly oil the grill grate. I used Zucchini & Summer Squash instead of Onion because my hubby isn’t a big fan and I wanted to get some veggies in!!
Grill the kebabs, turning once or twice, until the pork is firm to the touch and the onion is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
They came out AWESOME!! The marinade was to die for! I’ve never made Pork Kabobs before and I’ll surly be making these again because it was something different than steak and chicken!
Sunday Dinner ROCKS!!!

Yeah I loved the marinade I’m a big rosemary fan now! Thanks for having me at #SundaySupper!!
Mmmm… these look so tasty! I haven’t made kebabs yet this year, all I can ever think of for veggies is onions and peppers, and DH likes neither. But these look like something we can agree on! Yay!
Yeah I started using zucchini & summer squash last year to change it up! They were AMAZING!! You won’t be disappointed!
Oh these look amazing!Perfect for this barbecue season and so so flavorful!So glad to be doing #sunday supper with you 🙂
It was a great BBQ’d lunch!! So glad to be a part of such an awesome group!

Lovely presentation! The balsamic marinade sounds perfect.
I’ll surly be using this marinade on other things this summer!!
I’m slowly starting to like pork, and I think I’d like your kebabs. Anything balsamic catches my attention since I love it so much. I bet I could do beef too, maybe even shrimp. Thanks for joining us for #SundaySupper! You’ll get addicted to participating 😉
I’ve never been a big pork eater myself but since I’ve learnt how to cook it really well I’m loving it!! The marinade can really be used on anything! Thanks for having me, I’m already addicted! 😉
I love this recipe and can’t wait to try it. I think rosemary adds such a nice flavor to the kebobs. I am so honored to have you be part of #SundaySupper. I look forward to sharing many more of your recipes every week with our followers!
I don’t have a lot of experience with rosemary but I LOVED it!! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for having me!!
Yum! These kabobs look amazing. The marinade sounds really good. Don’t you just love BBQing? Everything tastes better on the grill. Happy Memorial day.
YES I love BBQing! I made grilled cheese & ham sandwiches, grilled Caprese sandwiches and pizza this weekend! Ahhhh summer!! 🙂
Zucchini and squash work well on the grill. I’m not a big fan of onions either. The marinade sounds very flavourful!Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Had a great weekend thank you!! Happy Memorial Day to you! The marinade is to DIE for!! 🙂
