Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 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 30 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare chimichurri by combining 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 minced garlic clove, and 3 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Step 3: Thread the marinated pork cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the pork skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely charred and cooked through to 145°F internal temperature.
Step 5: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top.
