The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed summer herbs (mint, basil, cilantro), roughly chopped

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  4. Grill the pork for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the bourbon glaze, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Meanwhile, grill peach slices for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and they soften slightly.
  6. In a bowl, toss the summer herbs with lemon juice, olive oil, toasted almonds, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Remove pork from grill; let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve with grilled peaches and herb salad.
