Prepare the mojo verde by blending garlic, cilantro, parsley, green bell pepper, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Marinate the maminha in the mojo verde for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Remove the maminha from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the maminha for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches desired doneness, probing for an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.

Let the maminha rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Slice against the grain into thin pieces and serve with additional mojo verde on the side.
