Pork Tenderloin in Bourbon-Brown Sugar Marinade Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by lovemygolden

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup Jack Daniels Bourbon (any bourbon will work)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 lbs pork tenderloin or 4 -6 pork chops

Steps:

  • In a shallow glass casserole dish, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, cilantro, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, water, and thyme, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the pork, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for 8 to 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Coat a baking sheet or the bottom of your roasting pan with tin foil, making sure the entire sheet is covered. The marinade tends to burn on and it's a pain to wash. For tenderloin: Place the tenderloins, side by side without touching, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan. For chops: Place pork chops on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160ºF, basting occasionally with the marinade. Discard any unused marinade. Submit a Correction

KENTUCKY BOURBON MARINADE



KENTUCKY BOURBON MARINADE image

Very good

Provided by Joanne Sarver

Categories     Marinades

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c soy sauce
1/2 c bourbon
1/4 c canola oil
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
4 clove garlic , minced
1 Tbsp white pepper
1/2 tsp ground ginger

Steps:

  • 1. Whisk together all ingredients, add 1/4 cup water in bowl. Good with beef, pork or chicken. Makes about 2 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bourbon: Opt for a bourbon with a smooth, mellow flavor and a slightly sweet finish. Avoid bourbons that are too smoky or spicy, as these can overpower the other ingredients in the marinade.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your marinade will be. Use fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits, and avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients.
  • Don't overdo it with the bourbon: A little bourbon goes a long way in a marinade. Too much bourbon can overpower the other ingredients and make your dish taste boozy.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours: This will give the bourbon time to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. If you marinate the meat for too long, it can become tough and dry.
  • Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking: This will help it cook evenly. If you cook the meat straight from the refrigerator, it will be cold in the center and overcooked on the outside.
  • Cook the meat over medium heat: This will prevent the bourbon from burning and will allow the meat to cook evenly.
  • Let the meat rest for a few minutes before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and will make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Bourbon marinade is a versatile and flavorful way to add a touch of sophistication to your next grilled or roasted meat dish. With its smoky, sweet, and slightly boozy flavor, bourbon marinade is sure to please even the most discerning palate. So next time you're looking for a new way to prepare your favorite cut of meat, give bourbon marinade a try. You won't be disappointed.
