Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Trim the pork tenderloins of any excess fat or silver skin and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the pork tenderloins into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring the tenderloins are coated completely. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during cooking.
Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork into 1-inch medallions and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
