We love this pork tenderloin. It has some heat but not to much. Just great flavor It is really quick and easy. I like to serve it with roasted sweet potatoes and grilled pineapple. I have not tried the salad so can't comment on that, but the pork is wonderful.

I just LOVED this pork tenderloin! It is moist and flavorful with spice encrusted edges. Because it was 100+ degrees today I roasted the browned tenderloin in a low crockpot. Just before serving I strained, reheated, and poured the glaze drippings over the pork slices. This yummy recipe is one I'll definitely be making again ~ Thanks!

I made the tenderloin and the salad. The salad was just "ok", but the pork was FABULOUS! When I was roasting the pork, the power went out halfway through the cooking time. Thought I would have to finish it later when my son suggested finishing it on the bbq. So I crqnked that baby up and got it really hot then turned the flame down to low and stuck the whole roasting pan inside and put down the lid. It finished cooking perfectly, nice and juicy. We loved the spiciness and the leftovers made great sandwhiches for lunch today. Next time I won't bother with the salad either!! Thanks Mrs Goodall!!

I made this the other night and followed the recipe exactly (I didn't make the salad.) We found it a bit salty so I would cut back a bit next time I make it. We used the leftovers in fried rice and wraps. We love the "island flavor" these tenderloins have as it was a nice change. Thank you Mrs Goodall for posting a fantastic recipe.

This was fantastic! I only made the pork and the house smelled wonderful while it was roasting. I'm a bit sad because I completely forgot to make the glaze. I definitely will next time, although the pork was still delicious without it! I didn't brown the tenderloins, just popped them into the oven. The meat was perfect at 140°F, a light pink inside and so tender and flavourful. Definitely a new favourite for me!

Outstanding!!!! Used the entire rub recipe for one tenderloin, but it was a large one. Made half the glaze, using about 3/4 T of hot sauce. Was perfect with sriracha-love the hot/sweet combo. Leftovers were awesome in a toasted pita with cucumber salad and cilantro.

WOW.. WOW ...... WOW!!!!! Trying to help DH watch his cholesterol, difficult because he is a picky picky eater who likes his meat and mashed potatoes with LOTS of butter. I took a completely different turn with this recipe, the salad in the recipe is too exotic for DH's tastes so I prepared a simple salad of Romaine, cucumbers and mandarin oranges with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I served the pork atop the salad. He could NOT stop raving about how good it tastes to watch your cholesterol ...LOL. Give this recipe a try, YOU will NOT be sorry.

My brother in law made this for us and we loved it. Not particularly fond of the ingredients in the salad but mixed with the pork it was delicious! Happy to find it here since I couldn't get in touch with him and was really craving it!

Awesome isn't good enough! I'll never make pork tenderloin any other way, the aroma of this meat roasting is intoxicating. I love that I didn't have to run out and shop for hard to find ingredients, just takes common ingredients that are always on hand, yet the taste is totally exotic, Thanks!

3 people said that I would like this recipe - they were wrong! I loved it - the combination of spiced rubbed on the pork in harmony with the tangy glaze sends your taste buds into orbit. I rubbed the spices on the tenderloins in the AM and let the meat rest all day in the fridge. If some of the glaze gets on the bottom of the skillet be sure to scrap it up - It is like candy. I did not make the salad. I served it with Corn kernals, steamed fresh green beans & Mexican rice .I am very impressed with with this recipe and will be serving it often to friends.Thanks Mrs G for giving me a wonderful dinner
