Ingredients

2.5 lbs Pork Tenderloin fat trimmed, cut into 1-inch chunks or cubes
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
6 tbsp Lemon Juice
¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
¼ cup Oregano
6 Cloves Garlic minced
1.5 tbsp Fresh Thyme
2 tsp Lemon Zest
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Pepper

Instructions

Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat. Cut it in half lengthwise, making two long pieces.
Cut those pieces into 1-inch cubes or chunks. Try to make them as even as possible.
In a bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Whisk together until well combined.
Place the cubed pork pieces in a large bowl.
Cover with the marinade.
Toss to coat. Use your hands and make sure all the meat gets nicely coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 4 hours but up to overnight. The longer, the better.
Thread the pork cubes onto skewers. I found that 6 or so cubes worked best per skewer.
Heat an outdoor grill to medium high. Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Rest on a cutting board 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Tzatziki sauce and lemon wedges.
