A sweet, smoky, and tangy peach bourbon BBQ glazed pork tenderloin that’s quick and easy to prepare, perfect for dinner parties or a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (60 ml)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (120 ml), smoky and slightly sweet
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat pork tenderloin dry and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Sear pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. While searing, blend diced peaches, bourbon, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tang as needed.
  4. Pour half of the glaze over the seared pork, turning to coat well. Transfer skillet or pork to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Halfway through roasting, brush remaining glaze over the pork.
  6. Remove pork from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Slice pork into medallions, drizzle with pan juices or extra glaze, and serve warm.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F for perfect doneness. If glaze starts to burn during roasting, cover pork loosely with foil. Resting the meat after roasting keeps it juicy. Substitute peach preserves for a smoother glaze or omit bourbon for a non-alcoholic version.
