Pork Tenderloin With Bourbon Sauce
Source: Diana Rattray,Your Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine (recommended by Sharoncb)
1/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, or 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
dash hot sauce
2 pork tenderloins, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
In blender or food processor, combine bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, mustard, ginger, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and oil; pulse until smooth.
Place tenderloin and marinade in a food storage bag; refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
Cook 4 inches from a hot charcoal fire for 15 to 25 minutes or until the pork has reached 165 internally and is no longer pink in the center. Baste occasionally while cooking.
(Sharon's Note - We don't have a grill so I cooked it in a low casserole dish on the top rack of my toaster oven, 30 minutes at 200C (about 400F), turning once and basting twice. I had only one hour time to marinate but the flavour was perfect!)
Slice in 1/2-inch thick slices to serve.
