i put this tenderloin on a green egg for about 3 hours. (it was a 5 lb. piece of meat) it was delicious. i am going to wrap it up next time in aluminum foil to save some of the spices and sauce for the mix from coming off into the grill. it was wonderful! i even mixed extra catalina and honey and added it to individual plates.

It was so tender, way better than any pork loin I've made before... Will make again.

I have made this a few times and each time it surprises me to how good it actually is. Highly recommend making this very easy and very tasty dinner.

Sooo juicy and delicious!! For some reason I've never had great success with pork loin, but this recipe nailed it!! The cooking time was slightly longer because I used a bigger cut of meat, but I expected this. I also used a meat thermometer so I didn't have to guess with the time. I followed the exact recipe and I couldn't believe how flavorful it was! I'm not even a big fan of catalina dressing but it is perfect for this dish. Try it!!

Very juicy and tender. I had to cook it about 10 minutes longer in order for the pork to be done, but it turned out great! I served it with a simple rice pilaf and mixed veggies. It tastes like it took hours to cook but it was a really nice and easy weekday meal!

Very, very bland. The meat was juicy and good, but we expected more from the rub and sauce.

I marinated this overnight (all except baste) and my family and I were surprised at how incredibly bland it tasted. It was not bad, just bland. My daughter ended up dipping her's in extra catalina dressing. There was no spice flavor at all.
