Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Bourbon
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the pork. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and set the marinade aside. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Cook the pork tenderloin in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C) is reached.
Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm. Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the slices for extra flavor.
