Bourbon Braised Pork Loin Recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs pork loin

Pork rub (your favorite brand)

3-4 Tbs Bourbon (your favorite brand)

1 Tsp dark brown sugar

1/2 cup Chicken stock

Non-stick spray

Oven safe pan

Tin foil

Mix brown sugar with bourbon. Set aside for 10-15 minutes until sugar is dissolved.

Set oven to 375

Cut the pork loin into slices approximately 1.5-2 inches thick (a 2 lb pork loin should yield about 4 cuts)

Cover both sides of each cut of pork with a liberal amount of your favorite pork rub

Spray a pan (I recommend cast iron) with non-stick spray

Over medium high heat, cook each side of the pork slices for approximately 3 minutes

Once each side has been cooked, spoon the sugar-bourbon mix over the pork and continue cooking for one minute

Pour chicken stock into pan and cover with tinfoil

Place covered pan in oven and cook until pork is cooked through (about 35-45 minutes)

When pork is cooked, remove cuts from pan

Over medium heat, cook the remaining liquid in pan to reduce slightly

Drizzle juice over the cooked pork or transfer to a dish for dipping (in my opinion the juice is one of the best parts)

Serve (I served this with herbed long-grain wild rice and oven baked buttercup squash)
