Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5–2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat and silver skin
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (for searing)
  • Cornstarch (to thicken glaze if desired)
  • A pinch of cayenne (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork: Trim the pork tenderloin of any silver skin and large pieces of fat. Pat it dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Maple Bourbon Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and optional apple cider vinegar and rosemary. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Sear the Pork: In a hot, oven-safe skillet, add olive oil. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Roast the Pork: Brush half the glaze over the pork tenderloin and transfer to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Roast for 15-20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 140-145°F.
  5. Let it Rest: Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze before slicing.
  6. Serve: Slice into ½ inch medallions and serve with extra glaze on the side.

Notes

Consider pairing with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted Brussels sprouts for a complete meal.
