Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, bourbon, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt.
- Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sear the Pork: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the tenderloins for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
- Glaze and Roast: Pour the reserved marinade over the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
