Teriyaki Pork on a Stick is a simple pork marinade recipe made from soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and ginger that is perfect for grilled pork. This recipe is great for pork chops, ham steaks, or the pork loin roast ends I used for this pork on a stick recipe. It is also great for chicken and beef.

This teriyaki recipe was derived from my teriyaki beef cubed steak recipe. This recipe is so versatile, I decided to try making a similar recipe for pork. We have a freezer full of pork, so I am always looking for ways to change up my pork chops, pork steaks, and pork roasts.

How to Make Grilled Teriyaki Pork on a Stick

Begin by slicing the ends of a pork loin roast. I buy large pork loins from Sam’s or Costco. The end that trails off is perfect for skewering. Slice the pork into one-inch strips.

Make the teriyaki marinade by combining the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger together. Stir to completely dissolve the brown sugar. Place the pork strips into a bag and then pour the marinade over the pork strips.

Marinade the pork for about an hour. Then skewer the pork. I use metal skewers to make this pork on a stick. If you use wood skewers, then be sure to soak the skewers while the pork is marinating.

Grill the skewers on 350° rotating the pork about every five minutes until the pork cooked to 145°. If you are using metal skewers be sure to use hot pads or tong to remove the pork on a stick.

Garnish the teriyaki pork on a stick with green onions if you want to fancy this recipe up a bit. These are perfect with an Asian salad or even fried rice.

Tips for Success

Meat Selection: Pork loin roast ends are ideal for this recipe, but pork chops or ham steaks can also be used.
Marinating Time: While 1 hour is sufficient, marinating overnight will enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions: Pair these skewers with an Asian salad, fried rice, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
