Description
A simple recipe for pork tenderloin coated in a sweet and savory maple bourbon glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 lbs)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. This is your glaze.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season it evenly with salt and pepper.
- Place the tenderloin in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush half of the maple bourbon glaze over the entire surface of the pork.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over it.
- Return the pork to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) is reached.
- Remove the pork from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute apple juice for the bourbon if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; do not overcook the pork.
