(Serves 6)

Prep Time: 10 minutes.  Cook Time: 15 minutes.  Total Time: 25 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 whole pork tenderloins, approximately 2 pounds total, trimmed

Preparation

1. Place the first six ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour into a large zipper bag or glass container large enough to hold the pork tenderloins and marinate overnight or up to 2 days.
2. Preheat a grill to high heat, and oil the grates.
3. Remove tenderloins from the bag, reserving the marinade, and grill for 14-15 minutes, turning halfway through or until the internal temperature is 140°F. Remove from heat and set meat aside to rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to rest and redistribute.
4. While the meat is resting, place the marinade in a small pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Slice the tenderloin on a bias and serve with the sauce if desired.
