Ingredients

6-8 Boneless pork chops, each cut into four lengthwise strips about 1/2 inch thick

Marinade:

1/2 cup Yellow mustard (not Dijon)

1/2 cup Soy sauce

1/4 cup Lemon juice

1/3 cup Olive oil (original recipe used 1/4 cup Canola oil)

1 t Garlic powder (or use minced fresh garlic)

About 6 drops Tabasco or 12 drops green Tabasco

1-2 tsp. Cajun Spice seasoning (I recommend Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning)

1 t Chile Garlic Sauce

Preparation

Whisk together mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, Tabasco, Cajun Spice, and Chile Garlic Sauce in a glass measuring cup or bowl with a pour spout.

Trim visible fat from edges of pork chops, then cut each into lengthwise strips about 1/2 inch wide. Put pork strips and marinade in a Ziploc bag or plastic container with a lid, seal and marinate in refrigerator 4-8 hours. (Can marinate longer for a make-ahead meal.)

When you're ready to cook, take the meat out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Spray gas or charcoal barbecue with olive oil or non-stick spray, and heat to medium-high. Thread the pork strips on skewers, weaving back and forth and pushing tightly together. (I like to use flat skewers which keep the meat from spinning on the skewer.) Grill kabobs 20-25 minutes, turning often, until meat is lightly browned and firm to the touch. Serve hot.

Cook's Notes

From kalynskitchen.blogspot.com: "Lean pork which is cooked this way is a perfect main dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet or any Low-Glycemic eating plan. Serve the kabobs with something like Spicy Mexican Slaw with Lime and Cilantro or Crunchy Cruciferous Chopped Salad."
