Grilled pork tenderloin is tricky, but with this recipe, you'll get tender, juicy pork flavored with a spicy sriracha-soy or a sweet bourbon-maple marinade.

A little while ago, a representative for Kayem contacted me and asked if I would like to sample some of their new line of Artisan Sausages that I could review.
