  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 cup pecan pieces, ground

Method

  1. PORK:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (preferably nonstick) or parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Rub the mustard evenly over the pork.  Combine ground pecans, thyme, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste and spread in a pan.  Roll the tenderloin in the nut mixture, coating well on all sides.
  3. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or to an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees.
  4. SAUCE:  Meanwhile, prepare sauce.  Combine chicken broth, bourbon and cornstarch in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium low.  Whisk in sugar, Worcestershire, soy sauce and mustard and stir until smooth.  Whisk in butter.  Add salt to taste.  Serve with pork.
