Grilled Souvlaki is a delicious, easy meal that is great to feed a crowd – but there are some tips that will help make this recipe even easier!

• Soak Skewers
  • To prevent skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before adding pork to skewers and grilling.
• Don’t Skip the Marinade
  • One of the reasons pork souvlaki is so delicious, juicy, and tender is because the pork is marinated for so long, allowing the oil to soak through the meat and help soften it for grilling – as well as soaking up tons of flavor.
  • This souvlaki is best when left to marinate for 24 hours – but can even be prepped up to two days ahead of cooking – so it’s great to make for a party!
• Don’t Overflip Souvlaki 
  • Grilled pork is smoky, rich, and delicious – and a big part of this recipe is the caramelized crunchy bits around the pork from grilling.
  • Don’t overflip your pork, or you won’t get a delicious, crunchy crust on the outside.
  • If pork is cooking too fast, reduce heat, instead of flipping over and over. This will also help prevent pork from sticking too much to grill.

Souvlaki is great because it’s great when reheated – so even if you can’t eat your whole meal in one night, it’s great as leftovers and meal prep!

To reheat souvlaki, it is best to quickly sauté in a skillet, instead of microwaving or baking – but if you’re taking leftover souvlaki to work, a quick pop in the microwave will work too.

Be careful to reheat the pork to piping hot – but not overcook – to prevent leftover souvlaki from drying out.

Leftover souvlaki is delicious in salads, wraps, sandwiches, or served with rice or over vegetables.

Leftover grilled souvlaki is also great served cold when chopped up into small bites and served over salad!
