Bourbon Brown Sugar Pork Loin

clemsontyger97

Love this one.   Direct @375-400 for roughly 8 minutes per side, or until internal temp is 145.   Marinade:  1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup diced green onions, 1/4 cup bourbon, 1/4 cup soy, 1/4 cup dijon, 1/2 tsp black pepper.  Mix and let sit for 8 hours.   Add 1/2 tsp corn starch to left over marinade and boil.   The pork loin has great flavor even without the sauce afterwards.

Served with skillet green beans & onion, and asparagus on the grill brushed with olive oil and hit with some black pepper and just a little garlic salt.

Sounds awesome and looks good too.  Going to have to give that marinade a try.  Thanks for posting the recipe.

I've been looking for simple bourbon glaze to make and this looks fantastic

The bourbon is definitely a nice flavor.  Not too strong, but strong enough so that you know it's in there for sure.   Meant to post this under pork session

Have had terrible luck with pork loins.  Will have to give this a try.  I think I am cooking too long.

@clemsontyger97 , how long did you marinate the TL in that great sounding mixture before cooking?
I gotta try this.
TIA

Right at 8 hours.   The first time I cooked this I let it go overnight, for almost 18 hours.  I tasted zero difference letting it sit for 8 this time.   I am guessing I could get by even shorter time if I needed to.

Is that pork loin, or pork tenderloin?

I referred to it as PT in my question because it did look like  a tenderloin.
