This tender, Asian-style pork tenderloin is marinated in a tasty honey-soy sauce then grilled to perfection. The marinade can be made ahead, and then the pork can be marinated overnight. Prepare the pork in the morning and then come home to easily grill a weeknight supper that your entire family will love. Marinating the pork in a zip-top freezer bag makes the clean up so much easier. Pounding the pork tenderlaoin helps to tenderize it as well as giving uniform thickness to the pork tenderloin so that it will grill more evenly.
