Time 11m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup Bourbon
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
cooking spray
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups water

Steps:

Trim fat from pork.
Combine onion and next 7 ingredients (through the garlic cloves) and place in a large zip-lock plastic bag.
Add pork and seal.
Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade.
Salt and pepper pork. (We used a generous portion of fresh ground pepper).
Prepare grill to medium heat.
Place pork on a greased grill and reduce heat to low.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes for a nice pink color inside. (NOTE: I have a Weber grill and it gets pretty hot on low so use your own judgment. 20 minutes was perfect for us).
Turn every 5 minutes and baste with 1/2 cup marinade.
Remove to a 200 degree preheated oven to keep warm. (Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you make the sauce).
Sauce:.
The onions will be a little crip, so it that does not suit you, remove them with a slotted spoon before preparing the sauce.
Place flour in a small saucepan.
Gradually add remaining marinade and water, stirring with a whisk until blended.
Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
Spoon gravy over pork and serve.
