The Filipino Pork Barbecue (Pork BBQ) is everyone’s favorite where the skewers are grilled on fire right in front of you. It is a marinated slice of pork thread on a skewer and grilled to perfection. During summer vacation, it is the time for me and my family to relax, sit back, and get a sunburn, play and having fun. It is the only thing that as a family really look forward every year. A relaxing picnic with my family and friend is the perfect way to enjoy a beautiful summer’s day. This Pork Barbecue Recipe is one of my favorites

Marinating Pork Barbecue Recipe

This is simple to make but it does take a little bit of time to Marinate. Marinating the pork longer the better the taste (Overnight). For making this Pork Barbecue Recipe, Pork should be marinated in soy sauce, crushed garlic, calamansi juice, black pepper, brown sugar, banana ketchup, and a can of Sprite or 7-Up. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight. After I marinate and refrigerate the pork, I allow the meat to come back to room temperature before barbecuing. This is to ensure even cooking of meat. String the marinated pork on skewers. Grill on medium heat until cooked with continuous turning and basting.
