Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir until sugar dissolves.
  4. Step 4: Pour the bourbon-orange mixture over the pork in the skillet and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the pork for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon the bourbon glaze from the pan over the sliced pork before serving.
