Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb cubed pork tenderloin and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: While pork marinates, prepare chimichurri: combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp olive oil (from above), and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread marinated pork cubes onto skewers. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until pork is cooked through and has grill marks.
Step 4: Remove pork skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with chimichurri sauce drizzled generously on top.
