Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup (Grade A preferred)
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper all over.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the tenderloin and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and thyme. Add optional apple cider vinegar if desired.
  5. Toss carrots, onion wedges, Brussels sprouts, and bell pepper slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly around the skillet or on a roasting pan.
  6. Brush about one-third of the glaze over the seared pork tenderloin.
  7. Place skillet or pan in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, then carefully remove and brush on another third of the glaze. Stir the vegetables gently.
  8. Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pork’s internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Apply the final glaze layer in the last 5 minutes.
  9. Remove the tenderloin and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 5-7 minutes.
  10. Slice the pork into medallions and plate alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Layer the glaze during roasting to build a sticky, flavorful coating without burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F for juiciness. Searing the pork before roasting enhances flavor and texture. Vegetables can be swapped seasonally. For alcohol-free version, substitute bourbon with apple cider or balsamic vinegar.
