Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 pound each) pork tenderloin
- 1 cup bourbon
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces ripe pears, peeled and diced
- 1 piece yellow onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup golden raisins
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and ground ginger. Add the pork tenderloins, turning to coat completely. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloins for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the pear chutney. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pears, chopped onion, golden raisins, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, kosher salt, and water.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and the chutney has thickened, about 20-25 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or honey as needed.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions. Serve alongside the sunny pear chutney for a bright and flavorful pairing.
