I love this recipe from the Augusta Chronicle.

The morning (or the night before) you plan to serve your meal, prepare the marinade for the pork and place it in a gallon-size, zip-top, plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and refrigerate.

Prepare the sour cream mustard sauce to accompany the pork and store it in the refrigerator in an air-tight, plastic container. Feel free to substitute low-fat or fat-free sour cream and mayonnaise in this sauce.

The tenderloin can be grilled or oven-roasted. Serve it sliced on a platter with the sauce in a pretty bowl in the middle. The tenderloin is great served hot or cold. It is also good sliced and placed on sliced rolls, topped with the sauce.

I made this for a buffet I had for my mom's 60th birthday party (along with a zillion other dishes!). It was a huge hit.

Bourbon Pork Tenderloin with Sour Cream Mustard Sauce

Pork:

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup bourbon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 pork tenderloins

Sauce:

1/3 cup sour cream

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard

2-3 green onions, chopped

Combine soy sauce, bourbon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Place marinade in a zip-top, plastic bag and add pork tenderloins. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Combine sauce ingredients and chill for several hours or overnight.

To cook, place the pork tenderloins on a baking pan, reserving marinade. Roast in a 325-degree oven for 45 minutes, basting several times with the reserved marinade. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve the sauce on the side.

 
I love pork tenderloin, especially grilled. When I get it right, it is...

...tender (of course) and juicy and very flavorful.

I just wish we could get some good supermarket or club store 'deals' on tenderloin. We used to get them at reasonable prices, but that was a few years ago. I still watch the ads, but they just don't seem to happen.

It's a splurge now.
