Sauce:
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pork:
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • To prepare sauce, combine the first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 11 minutes), stirring frequently. Remove from heat. To prepare pork, combine chili powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt, stirring well; rub evenly over pork. Cut pork crosswise into 12 slices. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bourbon for the sauce. A higher quality bourbon will have a better flavor and will make a better sauce.
  • Reduce the bourbon over medium heat until it has thickened and reduced by about half. This will concentrate the flavor of the bourbon and make it more intense.
  • Add the other ingredients to the sauce, such as butter, sugar, and spices, and simmer until the sauce has reached the desired consistency.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more bourbon, sugar, or spices to get the desired flavor.
  • Use the sauce on grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
