Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
• 0.25 cup Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon oregano, 0.5 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Add the pork cubes to this mixture and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to marinate.
3. 3For the chimichurri sauce: Finely chop 0.5 cup fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons fresh oregano. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped herbs with 0.25 cup red wine vinegar, 0.5 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Mix everything together well and set aside.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, which is approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C).
5. 5Thread the marinated pork cubes onto skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a slight char. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. 7Remove the pork skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the pork skewers with the prepared chimichurri sauce.
