Number Of Ingredients 16

3 - 4 lb pork tenderloin
6 to 8 clove garlic sliced to thickness of a sliced in half if very large
MARINADE
1 c bourbon or blended whiskey
1/2 c honey
1/3 c dijon mustard
1 Tbsp rosemary garlic seasoning or....
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp minced or dehydrated garlic
1/2 tsp paprika (smoked is best)
1 1/8 Tbsp dried onion
3 Tbsp soy sauce
GLAZE
1/2 c honey
1/4 c dijon mustard
1/8 c leftover marinade

Steps:

1. **The tenderloin I used was four lbs and very wide. I sliced it down the center lengthwise. Cut slits in the tenderloin and insert garlic cloves into the meat.
2. Combine all marinade ingredients and place tenderloin in a large zip lock bag with marinade. Let set three hours or overnight.
3. Bake, uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes until no longer pink in the middle.
4. Combine all ingredients for glaze and spoon over cooked tenderloin. Return to oven for 10 minutes.
5. I like this recipe served with garlic smashed potatoes and brussels sprouts or broccoli.
