Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb cubed pork tenderloin and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  3. Step 3: Grill the pork skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning until cooked through and slightly charred at the edges (internal temperature 145°F).
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup chopped mint, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber in a bowl. Toss gently to make a fresh herb salad.
  5. Step 5: Serve the grilled pork skewers hot with a side of the fresh herb salad for a bright, citrusy contrast.
