Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs pork loin
Pork rub (your favorite brand)
3-4 Tbs Bourbon (your favorite brand)
1 Tsp dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Chicken stock
Non-stick spray
Oven safe pan
Tin foil

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar with bourbon. Set aside for 10-15 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Set oven to 375 Cut the pork loin into slices approximately 1.5-2 inches thick (a 2 lb pork loin should yield about 4 cuts) Cover both sides of each cut of pork with a liberal amount of your favorite pork rub Spray a pan (I recommend cast iron) with non-stick spray Over medium high heat, cook each side of the pork slices for approximately 3 minutes Once each side has been cooked, spoon the sugar-bourbon mix over the pork and continue cooking for one minute Pour chicken stock into pan and cover with tinfoil Place covered pan in oven and cook until pork is cooked through (about 35-45 minutes) When pork is cooked, remove cuts from pan Over medium heat, cook the remaining liquid in pan to reduce slightly Drizzle juice over the cooked pork or transfer to a dish for dipping (in my opinion the juice is one of the best parts) Serve (I served this with herbed long-grain wild rice and oven baked buttercup squash)
