Pork Tenderloin in Bourbon-Brown Sugar Marinade

I love to cook pork like this. I have also used this marinade with pork chops. I have adapted this from Lean and Loving It.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a shallow glass casserole dish, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, cilantro, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, water, and thyme, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. 2
    Add the pork, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for 8 to 12 hours.
  3. 3
    Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
  4. 4
    Coat a baking sheet or the bottom of your roasting pan with tin foil, making sure the entire sheet is covered. The marinade tends to burn on and it’s a pain to wash.
  5. 5
    For tenderloin: Place the tenderloins, side by side without touching, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  6. 6
    For chops: Place pork chops on a baking sheet.
  7. 7
    Roast for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, basting occasionally with the marinade. Discard any unused marinade.

I have really fallen in love with pork tenderloin as my other white meet and now enjoy it quite often. I loved the combination of bourbaon, soy and brown sugar and thought the lemon and worcestershire added lovely notes. That alone would have merited 5 or 6 stars. My biggest challenge on taste was the cilantro as I thought the herb, clashed rather than complimented, the other elements in the marinade. Bunch is a rather amorphous term and perhaps I used too much but the flavor simply did not work for me. I would try the milder parsley or just omit altogether next time. Definitely a great way to enjoy tenderloin. As far as preparation, I have no grill and used my favorite indoor method which is to pan sear with high heat then pop the cast iron pan still sizzling into a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. The sear gives you a nice crust and seals in all the moistness from the marinade.

    MMMM..so delicious. Marinated a Pork Roast for 8 hours and roasted at 350F. for 2 hours until the internal temp was 155F. Really makes a tasty roast.

    My pork roast did not look anything like this one. This picture is a misrepresentation of the dish... This picture looks like spare ribs.

    Very tasty and great that it doesn't contain oil is a bonus. I baked mine but my glaze didn't get thick like French Tart's photo, but reminded me of the bourbon chicken that they sell at food courts. I did baste my chicken a lot and recommend it to help the glaze adhere. I did add fresh garlic/green onion as Kittencal recommended. Thanks for sharing! Roxygirl
