Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1 lb each) Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the pork tenderloins of any excess fat or silver skin and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the pork tenderloins into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring the tenderloins are coated completely. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the pork tenderloins from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during cooking.
Step 6
Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the pork into 1-inch medallions and serve warm. Pair with grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
