The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, whole
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together bourbon, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
  3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Brush the glaze generously over the pork.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), basting the pork with glaze halfway through.
  7. Meanwhile, place whole garlic cloves on a small baking sheet and roast alongside the pork for 15 minutes until soft.
  8. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
  9. Drain potatoes and mash with roasted garlic cloves, butter, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Let pork rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve sliced pork drizzled with remaining glaze alongside the mashed potatoes.
