What is pork souvlaki?
Pork souvlaki is a popular Greek dish made with small pieces of pork that are marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled or roasted until tender and flavorful. Traditionally, it’s served on skewers, but it can also be cooked on a sheet pan for a simpler, hands-off version. It’s often paired with pita bread and tzatziki sauce!
Ingredients You Need
- Pork Country-Style Ribs: These are boneless and well-marbled, making them flavorful and juicy when roasted. Cut into bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Baby Potatoes: Halved and tossed in the marinade, they roast up tender and golden. No peeling necessary!
- Red Bell Pepper: Adds sweetness and color. Slice into strips for even roasting.
- Red Onion: Roasts beautifully and adds a mild, caramelized flavor to the mix.
- Grape Tomatoes: These go in during the last 10 minutes so they soften and burst without becoming mushy.
- Feta Cheese: Use a block cut into cubes for the best texture. It softens slightly in the oven and adds creamy, tangy richness!
- Kalamata Olives: Briny and bold, they balance the other ingredients and add a burst of flavor.
- Fresh Dill: A finishing touch that adds brightness and a fresh herbal note!
For the Marinade
- Olive Oil: A flavorful base for the marinade that helps keep the pork juicy.
- Lemon Juice: Adds acidity to tenderize the meat and brighten the overall flavor.
- Dijon Mustard: Adds tang and helps emulsify the marinade.
- Garlic: Use fresh and grate it for max flavor impact.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Add to taste.
- Oregano and Paprika: Dried oregano brings that classic Greek flavor, while paprika adds warmth and subtle color.
How to Make Sheet Pan Pork Souvlaki
- Preheat & Prep Marinade: Preheat oven to 425F degrees. In a bowl whisk all ingredients for the marinade. Pour half of the marinade into the cubed pork. Combine well massaging the meat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Add Some Marinade to the Veggies: Spread the rest of the marinade over the baby potatoes and peppers and onions. Toss to combine.
- Bake: Arrange pork and vegetable on a baking sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Toss to combine with the vegetables.
- Add Tomatoes, Feta and Olives: Remove from the oven and add tomatoes, Feta cheese and kalamata olives. Bake for another 10 minutes until pork is cooked but still juicy and potatoes are tender.
- Remove & Enjoy: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Serve with pita bread and tzatziki sauce and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and lets the flavors soak in. You can even prep it the night before for extra flavor!
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give the meat and veggies space to roast instead of steam. Use two sheet pans if needed for better browning and texture.
- Add tomatoes, feta, and olives at the end. This ensures the tomatoes don’t get too soft and the feta holds its shape while warming through.
- Finish with fresh herbs! Dill or parsley adds a pop of freshness that balances the richness of the roasted ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your pork souvlaki with warm pita bread and a generous scoop of tzatziki sauce. It is a whole meal on its own, but it pairs well with rice, couscous or a quinoa tabbouleh salad if you want to bulk it up into a more filling meal. Leftovers? Toss them into a wrap or bowl with hummus and greens for a delicious next-day lunch!
