- Pork loin is one of the leaner cuts, with hardly any fat, which makes it a lighter choice — but it can also come out dry and tough if you're not careful. The secret to juicy, tender meat is all in the marinade, plus a few simple rules. Rinse the prepped pork and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut it into serving-size pieces and put them in a deep bowl. Peel and rinse the onion, then cut it into thick rings — don't chop it too fine, since it'll release plenty of juice either way. Put the onion rings in a separate bowl and add the mayonnaise, salt, ground black pepper, and water. The trick to soft, tender meat is the mayonnaise in the marinade — it adds the fat the lean cut lacks. Add the vinegar (you can swap in lemon juice if you prefer); the acid breaks down tough fibers and tenderizes even a stubbornly tough piece of meat. Feel free to add any spices or herbs you like. Squeeze and mash the onion with everything else by hand so it really releases its juice. Pour the marinade over the meat, mix well, and coat every piece. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. The minimum marinating time for a loin shashlik is 3 hours — but if you can, leave it overnight for guaranteed soft, tender meat. Thread the well-marinated meat onto skewers and grill over coals that have burned down to a hot glow. Cooking takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the heat and the size of the pieces. Serve the shashlik straight off the grill on the skewers, with radishes, green onion, parsley, and any vegetables or sauces you like. Enjoy!
