The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- Marinade
- 1/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Whiskey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
Instruction
- Place a large Ziploc bag into a large bowl and add to it the whiskey, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic,soy sauce, Dijon mustard Worcestershire sauce and ginger. Putting the bag into a bowl allows for the ease of adding the ingredients without the fear of it spilling over.
- Seal the bag and mix well.
- Place the pork loin onto a cutting board and prick all over with a fork.
- Put the meat into the bag. Seal and refrigerate for 8-10 hours, turning over occasionally.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with tin foil and spray it with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over high heat, sear the loin so that it is browned on all sides, reserving the marinade.
- Place meat on prepared baking sheet and pour 1/3 of the marinade over it.
- Cook for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reaches 148 degrees F.
- In the meantime, heat reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 5 minutes, bringing the temperature to 165 degrees F. to ensure all of the food borne bacteria is killed off. Turn heat down to low, keeping sauce warm.
- Remove tenderloin from oven and transfer to a cutting board.
- Cover with tin foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting to serve. This will also bring them temperature of the meat up to a “doneness” of 170 degrees F.
