Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup salt
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons peppercorns
2 quarts water
2 pounds pork loin
5 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
Directions
- Combine all of the brine ingredients in a large container. Add pork loin and let it brine in the refrigerator overnight.
- Brown the butter in a small pan over low heat. Combine the bourbon, honey, garlic, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F.
- Remove the pork loin from the brine and cut it, lengthwise, into quarters. Grill the pork strips until the internal temperature reaches approximately 120 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch sections. Reheat the browned butter over medium heat and add the pork. Stir in the bourbon mixture and saute until the pork reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, approximately 5 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a serving dish and serve.
