Grilled Pork Skewers

​I hope that you all had a great weekend.  My sweet thirteen year old daughter and I got to spend lots of "girl time" together this weekend.  It was fabulous - nail salons and movies and doughnuts and shopping and frozen yogurt - what more could a girl ask for?  I also got to watch my favorite soccer team take the field for a game on Saturday afternoon.  Even though they lost the game, it was an absolutely perfect day for a soccer game.

​"Girl weekend" also meant that there wasn't a lot of cooking going on in this house.  (We pretty much survived on pizza and sushi and chocolate.)  Since I wasn't doing my normal blogging over the weekend, I pulled out a recipe from several weeks ago to share on today's blog.  It is a great recipe - I just never got around to posting it.  Better late than never.

​I've said it before and I'll say it again - everything tastes better on a stick.  I use this spice rub all the time on all kinds of meats - chicken, pork and beef.  It's super quick to put together and everyone really seems to like it. 
  
To be honest, I didn't make pork skewers because everyone likes them better than traditional pork roast, it was because I ran out of time to cook a whole roast.  By slicing the meat into thin strips, it cooks much quicker on the grill and I can have dinner on the table sooner.  Quicker dinner = happier family = happy momma.

Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin Skewers
1 Tablespoon sugar                        ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
1 Tablespoon chili powder            ¼ teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons salt                               2 pounds pork tenderloin
​

​Cut pork into thin strips and thread onto skewers.

Combine rub ingredients and rub on tenderloin.

​Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 24 hours.  Cook on the grill for 10 minutes on each side.

​I served my pork skewers with crispy smashed potatoes and homemade applesauce.  It was a big hit.

​This is also a great meal to share with friends.   If you're taking someone a meal and can't quite decide what to make for them - this is a great meal that kids and adults will enjoy.  Skip the traditional lasagna and chicken casseroles and make some spice rubbed pork skewers.  I packed half of the skewers in a foil tray and took them to a friend.
