Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup whiskey, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Rub 2 tbsp olive oil all over the 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin and sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Place the pork in a roasting pan and brush generously with half of the whiskey-maple glaze.
  3. Step 3: Roast the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the glaze is caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick medallions. Serve drizzled with any pan juices.
