Filipino BBQ Pork Skewers

Servings: about 16 skewers • Serving Size: 4 oz • Points: 4 pts
- 2.5 lb pork country style ribs, all fat trimmed, cut into 1" x 1" cubes
- 6 oz 7-up

- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp black pepper
- crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a large non-reactive bowl and marinate the meat overnight.
If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least an hour so they don't burn on the grill.
Thread the meat onto skewers and grill. Discard unused marinade. Enjoy!!
Oh my gosh I am totally going to try these!! Thanks!

I tried this and love it... i'm sure my bible study friends will love this. We always bring a dish with us to share..... thanks! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIs there information on the portion size? I see how many it makes and what the points are but what exactly is a portion?
ReplyDeleteJust made this last night with beef and it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteAren't these amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the portion size ?
ReplyDelete3 pts for 1 skewer
ReplyDeleteThese were a big hit in my family! My 2-year-old NEVER eats meat and I think she ate about 3 skewers worth!!
ReplyDeleteCan I make these in the oven? If so, how do you suggest? Thanks! I love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteCan I use diet 7-up? These look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteYes! I am remaking these to add a photo. These are always a hit at my BBQs!
ReplyDeleteThinking of using this marindade with pork tenderloins then grilling whole. Would like to see a photo of the skewers though.
ReplyDeleteI actually plan on making them again this weekend to photograph them. You will love this!
ReplyDeleteI can't find the photos...did you ever photograph this??? Lyn
ReplyDeleteWhat are some good sides to go with the skewers? I will be making them with steak and veggies this weekend. Need some ideas on what to pair with it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy Filipino friends made fried rice on the side but any salads would be great.
ReplyDeleteMy filipino friends grandmother used to make these and we were lucky enough to be invited over for dinner several times. They were so yummy. I have these marinating as we speak and it smells just like I remember. I used pork tenderloin cut very thinly which I will skewer onin a ribbon effect. I also threw in some chicken thighs as there was plenty of marinade. Now I have tomorrow's dinner ready too!
ReplyDeleteI just found your website and I am hooked. I'm curious if you started off by joining WW? Do you have a success weight loss story to inspire me? I need all the help I can get.
Yes, I started doing ww when I was getting married, then again after my baby. It works!!
ReplyDeleteAll I have on hand is Sprite Zero. Think that will work?
ReplyDeleteSure!
ReplyDeleteMade these last night and my youngest, who is the hardest to please, gave thumbs up! I've also made the asian glazed chicken, asian turkey meatballs and the carnitas, all with rave reviews! All are SO good!
ReplyDeleteHow many calories per serving is this?
ReplyDeleteHi Gina. I live in an apartment and don't have a grill. Any ideas on the best way to cook these? I have a George Forman.
ReplyDeleteI used this marinade to make chicken skewers, and they were a huge hit. The chicken was nice and tender. Served with grilled pineapple and roasted sweet potatoes. Thanks for another success!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! Can you please add the actual calories and other nutritional information you normally add? Thanks! Can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing WW but my husband is just counting calories. How many calories are in the marinade? Thanks so much for this site! I have lost 9 lbs in 3 weeks and my husband has lost 8 lbs now, we love the recipes and it makes eating better so easy and flavorful. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteMost of the marinade gets tossed, but honestly I will have to remake them to give you the correct calories. As the weather warms I will add them to my list.
ReplyDeleteMine is marinating right now for tomorrow's night dinner. I just cleaned up from fixing the swedish meatballs. They were a total hit with my family. I love your website and have already grocery shopped for 6 meals!! I would love suggested sides to go along with the recipes.....like what you typically fix. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteFYI... they work on a gas grill, but taste better on charcoal. Some filipinos add ketchup to the marinade too. But that may increase calories.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to make these tonight but don't have any Sprite (or any soda for that matter) in my house. Any suggestions for a substitute?
ReplyDeleteCould this marinade be used on veggies or in a rice? Looking for ideas to spice up my carrot, squash, zuchinni mix that I usually serve with skewers.
ReplyDeletecan I use gingerale??
ReplyDeleteI used this marinade on Tofu and it was simply delicious! I will never again use another marinade to prepare tofu. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm anxiously awaiting for the calorie count on it too! They sound SO yummy and I can't wait to make them!
ReplyDeleteI made these and they were AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper easy and delicious!! Will be making these again!
ReplyDeleteMy husband wants me to make these once a week! And he says he doesn't like Filipino cuisine. It's our secret! Thanks for sharing, it was very tasty and easy to prepare.
ReplyDeleteYou use bone-in pork ribs and then cut the meat off the rib bones into 1 inch cubes? Is that correct?
