Filipino Pork Kebabs (Pinoy)
I had a package of country-style ribs and was craving kebabs. I chose Filipino Pork Kebabs (Pinoy) or Filipino Street Food because they looked wonderful and received rave reviews on Pinterest.
This recipe for Filipino Pork BBQ is a definite KEEPER! The husband and I enjoyed them so much that I plan on serving this the next time we have guests.
It isn’t very often, but when we do, I struggle to plan an easy yet delicious meal everyone will enjoy. Don’t you guys?
I’m always afraid I will flop making the recipe, and then we have to order pizza. Well, this recipe is going to be the one to use on guests. It’s so easy and so amazingly scrumptious!

Filipino Pork Kebabs (Pinoy)
Most recipes I searched used a pork butt (which I will use next time). I had country style ribs ready to go so I used them. They turned out great. You cut up the meat and toss it with the marinade. How easy is that? That is my favorite kind of recipe. No muss, no fuss…sort of.
How To Make Filipino Pork Kebabs (Pinoy)
The marinade recipe made about 2 3/4 cups for me. Reserve 3/4 cup to baste the kebabs while cooking.
I marinate most of our meats in a zip-top bag. It’s easier to store in the refrigerator and toss out when I’m done.
Check out our Pork Carnitas!
Marinate the pork for at least 4 hours minimum up to overnight. I marinated ours for 12 hours and it was perfect.
Pop it on a hot grill over direct heat and baste with the reserved marinade while cooking.
Grill until pork is done. It only took about 12 – 15 minutes for ours to be nicely charred and cooked through. They were perfectly seasoned, succulent, moist and soooo tender!
You will make this on a regular basis, I promise. Ok maybe that’s just me but I hope you enjoy the recipe.

I miss this food, I used to make this when I was in Philippines… now it reminded me to make this again. Thanks for sharing this recipe! #sharewithme
These sound so delicious!!
Thank you Stephanie!
YUM- How wild that 7-Up is in there! I’ve definitely heard of using Coke or Dr. Pepper, though, so I guess it shouldn’t be such a surprise. Appreciate you bringing this to Snickerdoodle Sunday so I could see it!!
I don’t eat pork but these look delicious. Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays, please add my badge. Thanks
You can make it with chicken or beef too!
I love trying food from other cultures, I need to try these out. Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup. Pinning to our linkup board and hope you found some great posts to visit this week!
Thank you Tanya!
Looks amazing thanks for sharing on Big Family Frugal!
I remember visiting the Philippines many years ago and was blown away by the food. So, I believe you when you say this is delicious. I’ll file the recipe. In the meantime, I thought to share that I recycle sturdy ziplock bags as they are easily washed with soapy water. Less landfill, happier me.
Hope to seeing you again tomorrow at FineCraftguild when a new edition of SHARE IT starts. Thank you for linking this up! ~ Rose
Rose, I do the same with ziplock bags!
These look right up my street. I love homemade kebabs and marinades. What did you serve them with? Also what’s banana sauce? I’ve never heard of it.

Looks delicious I will try it once the temperature gets warm up. Grilling in backyard will make this recipe more flavorful, thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop, pinning and tweeting.

That’s awesome, Rachela! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed the kebabs!! 🙂
Making these tonight. They’ve been marinating in the fridge. Can’t wait! I love Filipino food!
Great Victoria, We’d love for you to let us know what you thought of it after! 🙂
It’s been many years but I used to work with a Filipino doctor who made these delicious kabobs. Picked up a pork butt in the grocery today and hoped that I would be able to find a recipe. Can’t wait to try them again.
Just like I remember…as a child my friend’s family would make these and you could smell them grilling down the entire block. I was absolutely addicted to them & I’ve been dying to eat them for years but I had no clue how to make them. Thank you so so much for sharing this recipe it’s mouthwateringly delicious!!! Now my children are hooked.
Thanks, Carmen! Glad you like it!
