Pulled Pork Tenderloin – The Easy Way!
Pulled pork is one of my favorite dishes. It’s so versatile on sandwiches, in tacos, on salad, or simply piled high next to an ear of fresh buttered corn. Today I’m sharing Lori Lange’s recipe for Sweet Chili Pulled Pork Recipe from her fabulous new book The Recipe Girl Cookbook, named after her popular recipe blog RecipeGirl.com.
Chilli Pulled Pork Method
Lori’s Sweet Chilli Pulled Pork Recipe is genius! Instead of slow-cooking pork butt for hours, she suggests poaching pork tenderloin in beer and vinegar for 1 hour, then shredding it and adding Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. The results were astounding. This pulled pork tenderloin is tender and juicy with a spicy-sweet punch of Asian flavors. We served it on buns as pulled pork sandwiches with pickled red onions. Yet, you could serve it as a main dish protein with coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, and homemade pickles! I will being making Lori’s Sweet Chili Pulled Pork Recipe again. Very soon!

Serve this fabulous pulled pork tenderloin on hamburger buns with a bbq sauce. Or skip the buns and just add barbecue sauce for southern bbq plates! Use the pulled pork on nachos, in tacos, in soups and chilis, in wraps, and served cold on charcuterie boards.
