  4. 2 tsp Cumin, ground
  5. 2 tsp Ground Mustard
  6. 2 tsp Black Pepper
  7. 1 tsp Cayenne
  8. 4 lb Pork Tenderloin patted dry
  9. 1/2 tbsp Canola Oil
    10. Bourbon-Chipotle Sauce
  10. 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  11. 1 medium Red Onion finely chopped
  12. 2 cups Bourbon
  13. 4 cups Chicken Stock homemade
  14. 1 cup Apple Juice Concentrate, Frozen thawed
  15. 1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Light
  16. 8 medium Black Peppercorns
  17. 1 medium Chipotle Pepper in adobo; chopped
Steps
  1. 1 Bourbon-Chipotle Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft, and then pour in 2 cups of the bourbon and cook until reduced to a few tablespoons. Stir in the chicken stock, apple juice, brown sugar, peppercorns and chipotle, and cook until reduced by half.
  2. 2 Strain through a fine mesh strainer, and then return to the pan and cook until it becomes the consistency of a sauce. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon and cook 2 minutes. Season with salt. Yield: 3 1/2 cups.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  4. 4 Combine the paprika, sugar, salt, cumin, mustard powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
  5. 5 Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, and lightly coat with canola oil. Dredge the pork tenderloin in the rub, tapping off any excess, before searing on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Place the pan into the oven and cook to medium doneness, 8 to 10 minutes. Promptly remove from the oven and let rest at least 15 minutes.
  6. 6 Serve with the Bourbon-Chipotle Sauce.
