Is it possible to make pork tenderloin shashlik. How to cook pork kebab

We brought it out with my brother, after having tried dozens of different recipes on vinegar, wines, kefir, kiwi, etc. And now I can say with confidence that this is the most best marinade for pork kebab. It is also equally important to properly grill the meat on the grill. I'll tell you about this today.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork (tenderloin or neck)
  • 2 onions (better than white)
  • 2 fresh tomatoes
  • 2 sprigs of basil
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary
  • A mixture of ground peppers (minimum black and red)

Marinate meat


At this stage, it should look like the photo below:

  1. Cut the onion into slices 3 hours before frying. Salt it and wrinkle it with our hands to give juice.
  2. Mix the onion with the meat (remove the rosemary for this, then cover it again). And put it back in the refrigerator.
  3. We take out the meat 30 minutes before frying and put it in a room with room temperature. It is also possible in the sun.

We fry the shish kebab correctly


Where is the marinade, you ask? Any vinegar or kefir? Do not need anything! Only onions and spices and nothing more! The pork itself is soft, the onion does an excellent job on its own. The kebab turns out to be soft and juicy.

Now a few tips:

  1. As I already said, meat cannot be put on the grill immediately from the refrigerator. It should warm up to room temperature. Otherwise, the kebab will cook unevenly. Burn outside, but stay moist inside.
  2. I do not advise putting onions in pork earlier than 3 hours in advance - it will acquire an excessive onion smell.
  3. You can put onions later. Two hours or even an hour before frying, but then its amount must be increased.
  4. Putting tomatoes is optional.

That's the whole recipe. Believe me, we have been preparing shish kebab for several years now, and it really turns out to be very tasty. This is confirmed by our neighbors and friends!

Try it yourself. I am sure you will not regret it!

Have a nice picnic. If you have any recipes of your own, then please leave them in the comments. We will discuss)

Pavel Dorofeev was with you, as always.

Of course, the meat cooked in the grill is already tasty in itself, even without the marinade. An important component of a kebab is the selection of meat, the ability to properly salt and cook it ...

In fact, not everything is so simple. If you are a gourmet and you want more than just fried meat, then you cannot do without marinade.

Selection of meat for barbecue

The choice of meat must be approached with special scrupulousness, in our case we do not salt or boil in brine. We will marinate, but we need the marinade to absorb the meat as best as possible, and it will turn out as soft as possible. Of course, you need to take young and fresh meat, preferably a neck, this will achieve the desired result. Even if not pork neck, but I chose the tenderloin not bad, with a small layer of fat. You can check the softness by pressing down on top of the tenderloin with your finger. If at the same time the meat can be easily pierced slightly, this is what you need!

    Ingredients:
  • Pork - 3 kg.
  • Onions - 1 kg. (6-8 pcs.)
  • Lemon - Half a small lemon
  • Barbecue seasoning
  • Vinegar diluted in a bottle of water - for frying

Marinating meat for barbecue

We will not bother too much and cut the meat directly with the skin, in small pieces - 2x3 or 3x4 cm. Put it in a deep one, preferably in a plastic dish, but not in any case aluminum. Put enough salt, add cumin, seasonings for barbecue - half a 3 kg bag. meat.

Add the bow. Many for pickling onions are cut into rings or simply chopped, for me this is not correct, this will not achieve the desired result. Onions are used for marinade precisely because of the juice, in the property of which we will not go deep, we cannot squeeze all the juice out of chopped onions, but onions passed through a grater, even if it is not a lot painful for the eyes, gives the maximum possible juice.

Squeeze out half a small lemon. I do not advise you to overdo it with lemon, from an overabundance of lemon, the meat can turn out to be sour, but we don't need that. For this amount of meat, half of the squeezed lemon will be enough.

We mix everything thoroughly, hard. In the process, we observe how the meat changes color and becomes a little lighter, the color of the ready-made marinated meat. At the right choice meat, you can begin to skewer and cook, but according to the rules, the meat should settle for 1 hour in a warm place, and after that freeze for a couple of hours, or even until tomorrow.

How to cook pork kebab

An hour before cooking, defrost the marinated meat. As the barbecue is wide and your skewers are long, alternating with lard, we string the meat on skewers, not very tightly and at the same time leaving no free gap between the meat. Personally, my grill is not large in width and I use skewers not long, already inserted skewers with meat look like this to me:


We make a fire, preferably on coals or wood and of course in a natural way, without the use of gasoline and other means for ignition. After letting the fire flare up and after waiting a little, breaking the burning wood with a long stick, distribute it evenly throughout the barbecue. Using previously prepared vinegar water in an eggplant and a perforated jet lid, extinguish the burning embers.

We spread the barbecue on the barbecue. Pour vinegar water over the top of the meat with a thin stream and lightly fry the lower part, turn it over and also pour over the kebabs with a thin stream of vinegar water. As soon as it is ready, remove it into a flat cup and run to eat ...


Shish kebabs are served with chopped rings and washed in vinegar water onion.
That's it, I went to eat ...

How to marinate tenderloin skewers?

One of the main steps in barbecue cooking is marinating. There are many recipes for marinating pork tenderloin kebabs.

It also happens that cooks prefer not to marinate meat at all because of their convictions, they just salt and pepper the product before cooking. Others are cut in tomato, onion or kefir. Therefore, the choice of marinade depends only on your desire and preference.

What else do you need to know about pickling?

There are several rules that must be followed when preparing pork tenderloin skewers. So:

  • It is unacceptable to use aluminum cups and pots to marinate kebabs. Enamel or glassware is best. If there is none of the materials offered, then you can use a simple plastic bag.
  • The prepared pork must be washed, then dried and cut into pieces, the parameters of which will be approximately three to five centimeters. It is necessary to cut across the meat fiber.
  • The marinating time depends on the age category of the meat, if the pig was old, then longer, if young, then less. In addition, the size of the piece also matters. Large pieces pickles longer than small ones.

These were the basic rules for marinating pork tenderloin skewers. Now let's go directly to the recipes themselves.

Add the above ingredients to a saucepan with prepared meat and leave to marinate for at least 8-12 hours.

Tenderloin is the most dietary part of the pig, which is suitable for kebabs. Bon Appetit!

Do not consider it immodest, but today I will teach you how to cook the most correct and delicious pork tenderloin shashlik. Perfectly classic version Is a pork kebab made from the neck of the carcass. But do not rush to despair if you could not stock up on a pork neck. I can please the "owners" of the pork tenderloin! According to my recipe, kebabs are no less worthy. Do you have a barbecue meal planned? Guests will certainly appreciate all your efforts.

Read carefully and don't miss anything.

To cook the right one pork kebab, in addition to fresh and desirable homemade meat, you need the right ingredients for the marinade. Onions and tomatoes are ideal. You will also need a little kebab seasoning - for aroma, salt, mayonnaise or vinegar.

Cut well-chilled pork tenderloin into large pieces. Place in a bowl that is suitable for the size.

Season the tenderloin with aromatic kebab spices, but do not salt. We will salt the pork already on the grill.

Toss the meat in the seasoning. Cut the pre-peeled onion into large half rings. Complement pork pieces onions.

Cut fresh tomatoes into two or three parts, depending on the size of the vegetables. Keep in mind that the tomato slices will be skewered with the pork. Tomatoes should not be too soft and thin, otherwise, as they rotate, they will fall into your brazier. Add the tomatoes to the bowl with the kebabs and onions.

It is often used as an auxiliary ingredient for kebab marinade Apple vinegar, acetic acid, or mayonnaise. With a strong desire or by conviction, these ingredients can not be added at all.

We are preparing a "hot" summer kebab, so I still marinate our tenderloin in mayonnaise. Sometimes I take acetic acid, diluted with water in the proportion: 1 tsp. acid + 50 ml of water for 2 kg of meat.

Season the future kebab with mayonnaise.

Carefully not to crush the tomatoes, stir the pork in the marinade and leave in a cool place for 6 hours.

Place the marinated slices of tenderloin on skewers, alternating with tomato slices. Better to start with meat. Finish the skewer with it. If you leave a tomato on the edge, then there is a chance of losing it in the grill. Pieces need to be pushed along the fibers and tightly enough to each other.

Send the kebabs over hot coals. Try to cover the entire space of the barbecue with skewers. This will keep the coals hot and the meat cooked as quickly as you ever dreamed of.

As soon as the bottom of the kebab is covered with a light crust, salt the kebabs on top first. Turn the skewers over gently and season with salt. Don't be afraid to work with salt. Pork will not take too much in the process of frying, but if you add salt during pickling, as lazy people do (sometimes I also "sin" like that) or inexperienced kebab makers, then you can oversalt.

Cook pork tenderloin skewers for no more than 5-10 minutes, provided that the charcoal is good. You can check the heat of the coals in the most popular way - hold your palm close over the skewers. If the palm suffers, then the coals are worthless and they need to be inflated until red. Put out the fire with a pinch of salt. There is no need to flood the flame with water or beer, as many do. This loses the taste of meat and increases the frying time.

Pork tenderloin kebabs are ready!

We got juicy, aromatic, magically soft meat, which means: the picnic was a success! Eat with pleasure, but drink in moderation. You don't need to believe in fairy tales that vodka helps the fast digestion of meat kebabs.
