Grilled Honey-Bourbon Pork Tenderloin

This is one of our favorite foods. We love to grill pork tenderloins and this is one of the better marinades. I used this for a tenderloin that weighed in at 1 1/3 pounds. You can double the recipe and marinade about 3 of them at this weight. I marinate mine for 1 hour, 45 minutes in the refrigerator and the 15 minutes on the counter.


Grilled Honey-Bourbon Pork Tenderloin

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tbs. honey
2 tbs. lite soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 1/3 lb. Pork Tenderloin
salt and fresh ground black pepper

Mix the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl. Place the pork tenderloin into a gallon size resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade, seal bag, and rub marinade into the pork. Let it marinade at least 30 minutes. Take the pork from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Salt and pepper on all sides. Place on grill over hot coals. Grill until internal temperature reaches 160. Let it stand 5 minutes before slicing.
