7. Place the skewers on the hot grill and sear for 2-3 minutes before turning each skewer over and moving to the indirect heat spot on your grill for 2 more minutes.

8. Once the skewers are fully cooked brush them lightly with some of the dipping sauce.

9. Place the tenderloin skewers on a large plate and serve with some rice on the side and the dipping sauce
