The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.65 star rating.

NOTE: This is WAY TOO MUCH marinade for 2 pounds of pork. I used 1/3 of all ingredients (except the pork), and it was plenty for 2 pounds of pork! (If you change the serving size of this recipe to yield 2 instead of 6, you will have the right proportions.) I also added 2 T. of sugar and a dash of pepper. It came out great! I was looking for a marinade free of soy (soy sauce, teriyaki, etc.), and this is perfect. We make this all the time now! We usually cut up the pork into large cubes before marinating, and then grill them as kabobs with green peppers, cherry tomatoes, and pineapple. Always a favorite in our house--and we never have any leftover!

This was a great recipe. I substitued a greek spice mixture for some of the salt and sprinked feta on top after slicing. Absolutely delish!

This was fantastic! I halved the marinade and baked in the oven at 350 for 45 mins. No leftovers here! Great recipe.

I loved this recipe it was very refreshing and clean tasting. I cooked it on the BBQ on a low heat for 3 hours. My guests raved and ranted over this. I did use fresh limes and I would make this again any day, it was simple and no clean up. Love it Love it.

Wow this is so flavorful! I only had two hours available to marinate it, but the pork was still full of flavor! This marinade would be good on chicken too! I halved the recipe as many others advised and it was more than enough for two pounds of pork. I also used both lime and lemon juice, reduced the oregano to just under 2T. and added greek seasoning. Next time I will keep the 2 tsp. of salt instead of 1 tsp and will marinate for three hours instead of two. Try this, it's easy and so yummy!! Update: forgot to add that we melted feta cheese on top of the sliced pork. WOW, so amazingly delicious!!

LOVED IT! I followed the recipe as written, except I didn't have fresh limes (just the lime juice in the green plastic "lime") excellent anyway. I also added a very small amount of fresh rosemary (about a tsp.) to the marinade. We couldn't get enough of the pork. I can't wait to try this marinade with chicken!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I served it with Oregano Cubed Potatoes and Greek Style Green Beans (recipes from this site)and a Greek Salad. I also roasted it as I was too lazy to get the coals going. Next time, though I will just add the potatoes to the pork and drizzle with the marinade in one dish.

When I made this for my relatives (12 people including myself) everyone found it to be absolutely delicious. I found the meat to be very tender even when cooked well done and the lime gave it a pow! The aromas of garlic and oregano filled the kitchen and had everyone salvating in anticipation. For a pork roast, this was very satisfying and I'm sure I'll get the cravings to make this dish again.

I'm sorry I didn't review this before...I actually made this dish for Easter several years ago and I still remember it. I use the marinade on occasion for other meats - I used it tonight for lamb chops.

Very good flavor! Grilled for 30 minutes since I like mine a little more done, and it was still moist and tender.

Very good. I found that 1/2 of the marinade was sufficient for 2lbs of meat. The lime added just the right subtle tang. Using real limes is important to the taste. I used about 9 regular limes to get 3/4c. The amount of oregano was just right. After marinating don't be surprised that the meat looks greyish. It is reacting to the lime juice. I think the 2-5 hrs recommended shouldn't be far exceeded or you may end up "cooking" the meat. Make sure you have some left-overs. This tenderloin is delicious cold. Thank you Dave Nash for a wonderful recipe.

This was WONDERFUL!!!! It is our new favorite! I followed other reviews & cut the recipe in half and there was plenty. I also decided to use half lime & half lemon juice… so tasty! The other changes I made from the original recipe were to add fresh cracked pepper & go a little shy on the oregano. I also broiled the meat instead of grilling & it was prefect. Great recipe! Thanks so much Dave!!!

Awesome recipe, my family loved it. I have to add a little more olive oil though, because the lime tends to be a little overpowering for my taste.

This is a great marinade! Left it in the fridge for about 3 hours and then grilled...we loved the sour lime taste and it wasn't overwhelming.

My wife's verbal review after a couple of bites said it best: "I'd given up on pork tenderloin because they're usually just about tasteless, but this is so good!" Very easy, too.
