Step by Step Method

Step 1

Wash the pork tenderloins and pat dry. Rub them generously with the Cajun rub.

Step 2

Preheat the grill on medium high heat. Place on grill for a few minutes on high. Sear until grill marks appear on all sides of the pork. Blackening will enhance the flavor.

Step 3

Turn the grill down to the lowest heat, or move to the side where they will only receive indirect heat. You want to set the grill to about 325 to 350°F Cover the grill, and let the pork cook for about 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, make the glaze by placing all ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing to a boil. Lower heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Step 5

After 30 minutes on the grill (from Step 3), turn and baste the tenderloin with the bourbon-mustard glaze. Continue grilling for 15 minutes, turn and baste again, and continue grilling for 15 more minutes, for about an hour total.

Step 6

Insert a meat thermometer and when the pork reaches 150°F, remove to a platter. Cover with foil and let rest about 15 minutes. Slice and serve with extra glaze.

This glaze is drinkable! Perfect on the grilled pork, although I did not need to cook mine as long to get it up to temperature. Think this would be fabulous on chicken too.

This was soooooo good! We especially loved the whiskey basting sauce. The pork was very tender and full of flavor. Thank you!

This is a very flavorful pork tenderloin recipe!! I made this using just one 1 lb. pork tenderloin, so made 1/2 of the ingredients. Very quick and easy to get together and on the table. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Susie's World Tour 2018.

Wonderful flavour and it looks so good too. I must apologize Lori I could only find very large tenderloins so I subbed a 1 1/2 pound boneless loin roast, then I roasted it for 1 hour 375f. It was perfect, tender and moist. I will make this recipe many times over. Although the meat cut and cooking method were different the recipe remained the same and it spells delicious
