PORK TENDERLOIN IN BOURBON-BROWN SUGAR MARINADE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• In a shallow glass casserole dish, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, cilantro, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, water, and thyme, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the pork, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for 8 to 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Coat a baking sheet or the bottom of your roasting pan with tin foil, making sure the entire sheet is covered. The marinade tends to burn on and it's a pain to wash. For tenderloin: Place the tenderloins, side by side without touching, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan. For chops: Place pork chops on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, basting occasionally with the marinade. Discard any unused marinade. Submit a Correction

PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
• Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
• Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
• Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

BONNIE'S PORK TENDERLOINS WITH HONEY AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan large enough for the tenderloins. Add the honey. Season the tenderloins with salt and pepper to taste. Brown the tenderloins with a good sear, just like the picture. Be sure you don't burn the butter, watch it closely. Turn the tenderloins over and brown on both sides. Don't be afraid to let them get really brown, they will soften up as you bake them in the oven. This will take around 20 minutes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8 X 11 baking dish. Transfer the browned tenderloins to the dish, and all the honey, butter drippings, pour over the top of the tenderloins. Bake in the oven around 30 to 40 minutes until meat is no longer pink in the center. Some may prefer it slightly rare.
• Remove the tenderloins to a platter and allow to rest tented with foil for at least 5 minutes. While doing that, transfer drippings from the baking dish back to the skillet and reduce for a glaze.
• To serve, slice tenderloin 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and drizzle glaze over the tenderloins and serve.
