MUSTARD-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
This savory-sweet treatment for pork tenderloin was brought to The Times in 1989 by the inimitable Marian Burros. With just five ingredients - pork, brown sugar, whole-grain mustard, rosemary and sherry - you have an extremely simple though supremely satisfying dish. We like ours served with mashed sweet potatoes and a pile of sautéed greens, and the leftovers make great sandwiches.

Steps:
- Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Add pork tenderloins and turn to coat well with marinade. Marinate for 15 minutes or as long as overnight.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking. (Alternately, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high; bank coals or turn off burner on one side.) Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Brush pan with olive oil and add tenderloins; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, turning tenderloins every 3 to 4 minutes, until deeply caramelized on all sides and until desired internal temperature, about 20 to 25 minutes. (You can also broil the tenderloins in the oven - about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and cook about 5 minutes on the other.)
- Remove and lightly tent with foil; let rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.

Tips:
- Tenderizing the Pork: Before cooking, use a meat mallet to gently pound the pork tenderloin. This will help break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
- Marinating the Pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will infuse flavor and moisture into the meat.
- Grilling the Pork: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the pork tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. Avoid overcooking to prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Making the Bourbon Mustard Glaze: While the pork is grilling, combine bourbon, Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Baste the pork with the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Resting the Pork: After grilling, let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
This Cajun-grilled pork tenderloin with bourbon mustard glaze is a flavorful and juicy main course that is perfect for any occasion. The tender pork is perfectly complemented by the sweet and tangy glaze, and the smoky flavor from the grill adds an extra layer of depth. Whether you're cooking for a special dinner or a casual weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to impress.
