Honey Bourbon Grilled Pork Tenderloin
3 (3/4 lb.) lean Pork Tenderloin
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. minced, peeled ginger root
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
vegetable cooking spray
3 Tbsp. flour
1 1/4 cup water

Trim fat from pork. Combine onion and the next seven ingredients in a large zip top bag.
Add pork; seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.

Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees, turning and basting pork occasionally with 1/2 cup marinade.

Cut pork into 1/4 inch thick slices, set aside and keep warm.

Place flour in a small saucepan. Gradually add remaining marinade and water, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook 3 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Spoon gravy over pork; serve with mashed potatoes, if desired.
