In a bowl, toss the Presa cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Mix all chimichurri ingredients in a bowl and let it sit while the meat cooks to develop flavor.
Preheat a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it.
Thread the marinated Presa onto skewers and sear in the hot pan for 2–3 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms and the inside reaches 135°F-145°F (medium-rare to medium).
Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce before serving.
For the best flavor, let the chimichurri sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
If you prefer a spicier chimichurri, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
