Succulent and full of flavor best describes this mouthwatering recipe that infuses pork tenderloin with the warmth and smokiness from bourbon, honey, garlic and ginger and sage.
Ingredients
1 cup Olive oil
1/2 cup Bourbon
3 tablespoons Honey
1/2 cup Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root, peel and grate
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Thinly sliced onion
2 tablespoons Fresh sage, coarse chopped
2 teaspoons Pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
3 Pork tenderloins
Preparation
Combine all marinade ingredients; blend well. The marinade for this dish can be prepared a day in advance; marinating should go on for 24 hours.
Lay the pork in a ceramic or glass dish and pour marinade over them. Turn the tenderloins several times during the 24 hours that they are marinating in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, pat the pork dry.
Preheat charcoal in an outdoor grill and soak the wood chips in water for 30 minutes. Add the chips to the hot coals.
Roast the pork evenly for about 40 minutes, until its internal temperature is 165F. If pork is to be eaten hot, allow it to sit on the edge of the grill for 10 minutes or so after it is cooked so that the juices can be drawn back into the meat.
Serves 6.

Warm beet and onion salad BBQ recipe
The grill intensifies the sweetness and flavour of beets for a result you just cant get from a can. If the beet tops are tender and unblemished, use them as part of the greens in the salad. Otherwise, use three romaine hearts. If you cant find golden beets, all red beets will do. Great served as a light lunch or a first course to a special dinner.
Ingredients
-
2 medium golden beets with leafy tops, about 2-1/2 inches in diameter each
-
2 medium red beets with leafy tops, about 2-1/2 inches in diameter each
-

-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
1 large red onion, cut into four 1/2-inch slices
-
2 hearts romaine lettuce

Grill over Indirect Medium heat until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 to 1-1/2 hours depending on size, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill and allow to stand until cool enough to handle. Trim the ends from the beets and discard. Rub off the skins. Cut the beets into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices and place the red beets and the golden beets in separate bowls (to keep the red beets from dying the golden beets red).
To make the dressing

-
Cut the remaining skin and white pith from the orange and, working over a separate medium bowl, separate the orange into sections, letting the sections and any juice fall into the bowl. Add the reserved zest and the remaining dressing ingredients to the orange sections, including pepper to taste. Gently stir to combine.
-
Lightly brush the onion slices with some of the dressing and grill over Direct Medium heat until tender, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly, then separate into rings.
-
Rinse the reserved leafy tops of the beets under cold water. Select the smallest, most tender leaves and place with the romaine lettuce in a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss. Divide the lettuce mixture among four salad plates. Top with the beets and the onion rings and drizzle on the remaining dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
