Pork Tenderloin in Bourbon-Brown Sugar Marinade image

I love to cook pork like this. I have also used this marinade with pork chops. I have adapted this from Lean and Loving It.

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup jack daniels sour mash (any will work) or 1/2 cup a Bourbon (any will work)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 lbs pork tenderloin or 4 -6 pork chops

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.
