Rob333 asked for this recipe from the WFD? thread... I am printing the original and made notes where I changed it for the saute and pan sauce instead of the marinade. Hope you enjoy!

 1/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon

 1/4 cup light soy sauce (2 tsp for pan sauce)

 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (2 tbsp for pan sauce)

 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Place tenderloin and marinade in a food storage bag; refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight. Cook 4 inches from a hot charcoal fire for 15 to 25 minutes or until the pork has reached 165° internally and is no longer pink in the center. Baste occasionally while cooking.

Combine bourbon, soy, sugar, apple cider, sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce in a bowl. Peel silver skin off the tenderloins and cut into 1 inch pieces.

Add a bit more oil if needed, and add the garlic to the pan, cook for 30 seconds. Add the liquid mixture in the bowl and stir/whisk to loosen any bits stuck to the pan.

Yes that's the original recipe I posted back in 2006 on the WFD with this photo "Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Sauce".


It's a good recipe from Diana Rattray,'Your Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine.'

I love your addition of cream Alexa. I also don't use a grill (don't have one) but bake it in the sauce in the toaster oven.

Thanks so much Alexa! I do remember when you posted that Sharon. I was afraid I couldn't pull it off, and so I didn't even try. I'm much braver now, thanks to all the successes from people over here ;) After all, attitudes are contagious.

Alexa, I hope you don't mind - I shared this recipe on my Facebook page with several of my friends. Sharon, I also snagged your photo so they could see what it looks like. They are constantly asking me for meal ideas and yours looked so good that I just had to share!
