Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • 1/4 cup whiskey (e.g., Jameson or Bulleit)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (grade A dark amber preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine whiskey, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, soy sauce, and fresh thyme. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and trim any silver skin. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper all over.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss baby potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and red onion with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  5. Place the pork tenderloin in the center of a roasting pan or sheet pan. Spread the vegetables evenly around the pork, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Brush the pork tenderloin generously with the whiskey maple glaze, reserving some glaze for basting later.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove and brush the pork again with some glaze. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  9. While the pork rests, toss the vegetables in the pan juices. Slice the pork into medallions and serve alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzled with any remaining glaze.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; aim for 145°F (63°C). Simmer the glaze gently to preserve whiskey flavor. Brush glaze twice during roasting for a sticky crust. Rest pork for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. Swap vegetables seasonally or use tamari for gluten-free. Honey can substitute maple syrup with a slight flavor change.
