Our dear friends Jayne & Jamie were in town this weekend for a wedding shower that was being throw in their honor and a bunch of our friends had a delicious dinner waiting for them when they got into town on Friday night. It was a total group effort and the meal was great. I made
this Pork Tender after seeing it on
Weelicious (Great food blog!) last week and it turned out to be super delicious.
The great thing about
this recipe is that I actually did the marinade two days prior and then all that had to be done beforehand was to grill it. I'm planning to use the leftovers in a stir-fry tonight.
I served this with my
Strawberry Salad with Strawberry/Lemon/Basil Dressing and Roasted Potatoes.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 whole pork tenderloins, approximately 2 pounds total, trimmed
Preparation
- Place the first six ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour into a large zipper bag or glass container large enough to hold the pork tenderloins and marinate overnight or up to 2 days.
- Preheat a grill to high heat, and oil the grates.
- Remove tenderloins from the bag, reserving the marinade, and grill for 14-15 minutes, turning halfway through or until the internal temperature is 140°F. Remove from heat and set meat aside to rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to rest and redistribute.
- While the meat is resting, place the marinade in a small pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Slice the tenderloin on a bias and serve with the sauce if desired.
