About

Thai BBQ pork couldn’t be easier to make because you just throw all the marinade ingredients in a bag and go about your day. The flavors permeate the pork tenderloin nicely in this dish and the sweet Thai chili sauce is a terrific accompaniment to the spicy, salty, and tangy flavors in the marinade.
