I made this dish for a family dinner, used two pork tenderloins. Everyone loved it, my daughter-in-law asked for the recipe. I would definitely make again and would give the recipe to friends.

I made this dish for a large dinner party and everyone loved it. I put the spice rub on the tenderloin early and just left them in the fridge until I was ready to cook. Will make again - soon!

I made this recipe twice in one week because it was so easy and yummy. This is a fool-proof recipe and can be prepped and thrown in the oven in a matter of minutes.

I don't eat pork but my family LOVES this recipe and it's so simple. We grilled it only and it turns out perfect every time.

This was a great dish. I made it on a Wednesday night and it felt like a fancy meal. Very fast and easy. Would work well for company.

We did this for our kids cooking camp. Easy prep and yummy to the taste. The only thing we ALL would have changed was a little more zip/spice because it was very sweet. Probably would add red pepper flakes the next time.
