We love pork tenderloin because it’s an easy weeknight meal. The hardest thing about this recipe is waiting for the pork to marinate in a mixture of coffee, bourbon, vinegar, and other goodies. Once grilled, the pork is delicious with a tangy and sweet flavor. We grilled the pork tenderloins on both a gas and charcoal grill. Both were super tender, but we thought the charcoal was slightly tastier.
Ingredients
- 2 – 1 lb pork tenderloins
- 1/4 c strong black coffee, cold or room temperature
- 1/4 c bourbon
- 3 Tbsp dark molasses
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
- 2 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper
