A delightful pork tenderloin recipe featuring a honey-bourbon glaze that brings out a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
In a shallow dish, combine the bourbon, honey, soy sauce, cilantro, juice of the lemon, and thyme.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the pork tenderloins in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Turning the pork occasionally in the marinade helps it absorb more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork inside for even cooking.
Place the marinated pork on a roasting pan and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Basting the pork with the marinade during cooking enhances its flavor.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
