Pork goes perfectly with A Taste of Thai Pad Thai Sauce, whose sweet and tangy flavors work as both a marinade and a finishing sauce.

Ingredients

Add Pad Thai Sauce, 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce, 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar and Fish Sauce to a bowl. Mix well.
With a sharp knife, butterfly pork by slicing lengthwise down center, cutting three quarters of the way through meat. Open like a book.
Add meat and marinade to a baking dish that fits meat snugly. Make sure marinade is spread over all meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, turning meat occasionally.
Just before grilling, fold 3 inches of the thin pointed end of tenderloin under itself for an even thickness of meat. Tie with butcher's twine or secure with skewers.
Preheat grill to medium-high and oil grates. Reserve marinade. Grill pork with top closed 5-7 minutes per side, or until meat registers 155°F on a meat thermometer. Pork can be slightly pink.
Meanwhile, pour marinade, remaining tablespoon of lime juice and sugar, into a small saucepan. Add one tablespoon water. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer. Cook 5-7 minutes.
Rest tenderloin 5 minutes and slice on diagonal. For an attractive presentation, fan meat onto serving tray or plates. Pour reserved sauce over meat and sprinkle with basil.

This sauce packs heat and a ton of flavor. Use it as a hot sauce or add a dash to spice up your favorite recipes.

Our authentic Pad Thai Sauce contains real tamarind, the Asian fruit that gives Pad Thai its unique flavor. This sauce is great on other dishes, too.

Thais use Fish Sauce the way other cultures use soy sauce. Its savory and salty flavors are perfect for stir-frys, curries, marinades and dressings.
