Maple Bourbon Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potato Mash

The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk together bourbon, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  2. Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Brush the bourbon maple glaze over the pork, reserving some for basting.
  4. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, basting pork with remaining glaze halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. While pork roasts, boil sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  6. Mash sweet potatoes with butter, chopped sage, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  7. Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve sliced pork tenderloin atop a bed of sweet potato mash, drizzled with any pan juices or additional glaze if desired.
