    Ingredients

    • 2 1/4 lb lean pork tenderloins
    • 1/2 c. diced onion
    • 1/2 c. lemon juice
    • 1/2 c. bourbon whiskey
    • 1/4 c. honey
    • 1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce
    • 1 Tbsp. chopped peeled gingerroot
    • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
    • 4 x garlic cloves chopped
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper vegetable cooking spray
    • 3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
    • 1 1/4 c. water

    Directions

    1. 1/30/99. Made with bone less pork loin chops, using 50% more meat than specified for the marinade. Chops were marinated for 2 hrs, seared on both sides in a saute/fry pan and then braised, covered, for 25 min. The pan was uncovered for 20 min more to reduce the liquid. Wondra flour was stirred into the liquid to thicken the sauce.
    2. Good, but has a rather strange mix of Asian flavors. Good with zucchini ribbons sauteed with ginger and cream.
    3. 1 Chef Colleen Crain, of Far and Away Adventures, says the secret to this recipe is using part of the marinade to make the gravy, that is poured over the pork and mashed potatoes.
    4. 2 Trim fat from pork. Combine onion and the next 7 ingredients (onion through garlic) in a large zip top heavy duty plastic bag. Add in pork; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 min. Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Sprinkle salt and pepper over pork.
    5. 3 Prepare grill. Place the pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Cover and cook for 30 min or possibly till meat thermometer registers 160 degrees, turning and basting pork occasionally with 1/2 c. marinade. Cut the pork into 1/4 inch thick slices; set aside, and keep hot.
    6. 4 Place flour in a small saucepan. Gradually add in remaining marinade and water, stirring with a wire whisk till blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook 3 min or possibly till thickened, stirring constantly. Spoon gravy over pork; serve with mashed potatoes, if you like. (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 1/4 c. gravy).
