Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a small baking sheet or skillet with foil if desired.
- 2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry, then rub it all over with Dark Roast Coffee Infused Olive Oil.
- 3. Stir together the brown sugar, ground coffee, kosher salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, then coat the pork evenly.
- 4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until well browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the pork reaches 145°F at the thickest part, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- 6. While the pork roasts, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and water in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until slightly syrupy.
- 7. Off the heat, whisk in the butter until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
- 8. Brush the glaze over the pork during the last few minutes of roasting, then let the pork rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- 9. Slice and spoon any remaining glaze over the top before serving.
Notes
Dark Roast Coffee Infused Olive Oil adds a smooth roast-coffee edge that works especially well with bourbon and brown sugar. Keep the glaze at a gentle simmer so it stays glossy instead of reducing too far. Let the pork rest before slicing so the juices stay inside the tenderloin.
