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.
