Bourbon-Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients:

  • 2 (1-lb.) pork tenderloins

  • ¼ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

  • ¼ cup minced green onions

  • ¼ cup bourbon

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch

Preparation:

  1. Remove silver skin from tenderloins, leaving a thin layer of fat. Combine brown sugar and next 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add pork. Seal bag, and chill 8 to 18 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade.

  2. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Grill pork, covered with grill lid, 8 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°. Remove from grill, and let stand 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, combine reserved marinade and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Cut pork diagonally into thin slices, and arrange on a serving platter; drizzle with warm sauce.
