"This is so juicy and tender if you adhere to the time and internal temperature! It is not hot, but has a wee bit of a kick. I cut the amount of pork to one tenderloin and use the full amount of the rub/sauce. And any sauce leftover from brushing, I put on the plate as a dip for the meat. That is our personal preference."
