Equipment

  • BBQ Skewers

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 Pound Pork Butt

Marinade and Basting Sauce

  • 12 ounce 7-up or Sprite
  • ½ Cup Banana Ketchup
  • ½ Cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Oyster Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Garlic minced
  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the marinade ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and cool in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Cube the pork into about ½-1 inch chunks and place in a bowl or plastic bag.
  • Add 2 cups of the marinade to the bag with the pork and reserve 1 cup of the marinade for basting.
  • Marinate the pork for 4 hours, up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees). Set up for direct and indirect cooking.
  • Skewer the pork chunks on the metal or wooden skewers.
  • Grill the Filipino pork skewers over direct heat for about 2 minutes, then flip. Baste with some of the reserved sauce. Repeat these steps several more times, by flipping and basting about every 2-3 minutes.
  • When the pork has reached your desired color, move then skewers to indirect heat. Continue to cook until the pork reaches an internal temp of about 185-195 degrees in order to break down the collagen and connective tissue in the meat and render the fat.
  • Serve the pork skewers warm with your favorite sides.
