Why We Love This Recipe For 4-Ingredient Pork and Peach Kebabs

Wondering what’s so great about these pork and peach kebabs? Four ingredients. No dishes (well, except the cutting board and the kebab skewers). And they are seriously yummy. I love grilling pork, like this Grilled Pork Tenderloin and these Lemon Rosemary Grilled Pork Chops. And nothing says summer like grilled pork kebabs with a scoop of pasta salad.

Recipe Highlights

  • These pork skewers with peaches are super for entertaining since they’re an easy prep-ahead/make-ahead recipe.
  • Marinate the pork for a few hours or overnight.
  • A great way to use summer-ripe peaches.
  • You’ll only need 4 ingredients.
  • The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you’re entertaining.

Ingredient Notes For Marinated Pork Tenderloin Kebabs with Peach

the ingredients (pork, peach, onion and marinade) on a white table
  • Boneless Pork Tenderloin: I tested these with both pork tenderloin and pork loin, and I prefer them with pork tenderloin. The meat is just more tender. 
  • Pork Kebab Marinade: One of the best parts of this recipe is that you can use any store-bought marinade for this recipe. We recommend teriyaki marinade because the flavors pair well with the peaches. This is my favorite store-bought Teriyaki, and of course, you can also make your own Teriyaki Marinade from scratch.
  • Fresh Peaches: Look for ripe, soft freestone peaches for this recipe. You can sub in another stone fruit such as plum or nectarine if you like. Clingstone peaches also work, but you may have to cut away some of the flesh to get the pit out. Cut the peaches into 8 chunks each (about 1 inch)
  • Sweet Onion: For this recipe, I use a sweet onion such as Vidalia, because they are mild, sweet and are not as biting and strong as red or yellow onion. But this recipe is very forgiving, so just know that you can use any type of onion you have on hand.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pork and Peach Skewers

Step 1: Marinate pork

Place the pork and teriyaki marinade in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Agitate the bag to coat the pork. Refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 8 hours. Drain the pork well and discard the marinade.

Step 2: Preheat grill

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (Alternatively, preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.)

Step 3: Assemble pork and peach shish kebabs

Skewer the pork, peaches and onion onto 8 metal kebab skewers, alternating ingredients.

TIP: To oil the grill rack, soak a paper towel with neutral cooking oil (such as canola oil) and holding them with tongs, drag the cloth along the grate. Pull the cloth toward you to avoid flare-ups.

Step 4: Grill kebabs and serve

Oil the grill rack or grill pan. Grill the pork and peach skewers, turning once or twice until the kebabs are starting to char in spots and the pork is just barely pink in the center, 7 to 9 minutes. Let them rest off the heat for 5 minutes before serving.

Storing instructions:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day. You can either remove the peach and onion and pork from the skewers or store them whole.

Make-ahead instructions:

Marinate the pork up to 8 hours. Then drain and keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 day. Peaches and onion can be cut up to 1 day ahead. Assemble just before cooking.

Alternative for metal skewers:

If you don’t own metal skewers, you could use wooden ones instead. If you do, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before assembling so they don’t burn too much on the grill.

Here’s how to oil the grill rack:

You don’t want to forget to oil your grill rack! These have a tendency to stick to the grill if you don’t. soak a paper towel or clean the kitchen rag with organic canola oil or avocado oil.
