I bought a pack of pork shoulder steaks and decided I wanted to make kebabs...I just needed to decide on a marinade! After much discussion, I went for Korean flavours to make this Korean pork kebabs recipe! Using the majority of the sauce ingredients from our slow cooker korean pulled chicken recipe to make the marinade, the pork turns out lovely and tender with a lovely warmth and spice.
The kebabs can be cooked on the barbecue if the weather's being kind and under the grill if it's not!
It's a quick dish to prepare and cook, with a pretty short marinating time in between, and great to enjoy as a selection of barbecued food with salads, breads and sauces, or with some stir-fried rice and vegetables.
Tips
- Gochujang is a hot/sweet fermented condiment from Korea - if you can't find it in your local supermarket or South Asian grocers, use a fermented black bean paste or umami paste.
- This Korean pork kebabs recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

How to make these Korean Pork Kebabs
Ingredients
- 4 pork shoulder steaks, each steak cut into 6 chunks
For the marinade:
- 30ml gochujang (see Tips)
- 30ml soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 25g piece of ginger, peeled (or skin left on for extra warmth) and grated
- 1.5 tbsp mirin
- 20g soft light brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil
- a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl or large sandwich bag and add the chunks of pork. Marinate in the fridge for 1 to 3 hours.
- Heat the BBQ or grill to high. Thread 6 cubes of pork on to 4 long metal skewers, leaving a slight gap (about 1cm) between each chunk, so that they cook evenly. Cook on the BBQ or under a hot grill for 10 to 12 minutes, baste with any spare marinade and turn 3 times at regular intervals, until cooked through.
- Enjoy as a selection of barbecued food with salads, with flatbreads or with some stir-fried rice and vegetables.
