Thai Pork Skewers & Peanut Chile Sauce

Our recipe for Thai Pork Skewers with Peanut Chile Sauce was given to us by our good friend Andy Groneman of Smoke On Wheels BBQ

Pork Skewer Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
• 6 medium garlic cloves, minced
• Smoke on Wheels Pork Marinade
• 1 tsp Sambal Oelek
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• Ground white pepper
• 1⁄3 cup coconut milk

Cooking Instructions

• Chill pork until firm to ease slicing.
• Slice the partially frozen pork into pieces about 1⁄8-inch thick; cut them into strips 1-to 11⁄4-inches wide
• Stir together the garlic, marinade, oil, and 1⁄2 tsp white pepper.
• Add the pork to the marinade and mix with your hands until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Thread the pork onto 8”skewers, evenly dividing the meat among 12 skewers; make sure to pack it tightly.
• Heat a grill to 350-400º, leaving an indirect zone if possible.
• Place the skewers on the direct side of the grill and cook until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn skewers, then brush with some of the coconut milk. Cook until the second sides are lightly charred, about another 3 minutes.
• Flip the skewers again and continue to cook, occasionally brushing with coconut milk and turning every 2-3 minutes, until nicely charred on both sides.
• Serve with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
