  • Prep Time 40 minutes
  • Total Time 55 minutes + marinating
  • Yield Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for grill
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
    • 3 tablespoons lime juice (from 2 limes)
    • 1/4 cup orange juice (from 2 oranges), plus 1 orange, cut into 16 pieces
    • 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds total), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
    • 1 large English cucumber, cut into 1-inch rounds
    • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a small pot, combine oil, garlic, and red-pepper flakes over medium-low. Cook until garlic is soft, 15 minutes, swirling occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in lime and orange juices, and let cool 15 minutes.
  2. In a zip-top bag, toss pork with half the marinade and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours); refrigerate remaining marinade.
