BBQ Pork and Pineapple Kebabs

Jump to Recipe

Sweet and salty kebabs made from diced pork marinated in soy and BBQ sauce, fresh pineapple pieces, red onion and capsicum, then grilled on the BBQ. Serve with freshly steamed rice and your choice of green veg.

Cooked pork and pineapple kebabs served on a large white oval platter.

These BBQ Pork and Pineapple Kebabs are every bit as tasty as they look. The sweetness from the pineapple and the soy and BBQ sauce marinade helps to create that lovely caramelised char. I like to serve these kebabs with some freshly steamed rice and veggies.

This is a great meal to prepare ahead of time if you are hosting or attending a BBQ. Why not make one of my "Feed a Crowd" BBQ Salads to go with it?

Ingredient notes:

The ingredients to make pork and pineapple kebabs on a grey bench top

Pork: I've used pork fillet steaks in this recipe. You can use any type of boneless pork.
Pineapple: I love the taste of fresh pineapple in this recipe. If you wanted to make it with canned pineapple that would also work.
Vegetables: Red onion and capsicum complement the flavour of the pork and pineapple so well. You could also use courgette, mushroom or eggplant if you like.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Recipe FAQs:

What other veggies could I use in these kebabs?

You could add courgette, spring onion, mushrooms or eggplant to the skewers.

Are these BBQ pork and pineapple kebabs gluten free?

Most of the ingredients are naturally gluten free however you will need to make sure you choose a gluten free soy sauce and BBQ sauce to use.

Storage:

If you want to get ahead, you can marinate the pork the night before you want to cook it.

Store any leftover pork and pineapple kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Enjoy hot or cold.

Top tips:

It's a good idea to soak your bamboo skewers in water before threading the ingredients on. This will reduce the risk of them burning on the BBQ.
