Honey Bourbon Grilled Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup Bourbon
    1/2 cup honey
    1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
    1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    cooking spray
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 1/4 cups water
Preparation
    Trim fat from pork.
    Combine onion and next 7 ingredients (through the garlic cloves) and place in a large zip-lock plastic bag.
    Add pork and seal.
    Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
    Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade.
    Salt and pepper pork. (We used a generous portion of fresh ground pepper).
    Prepare grill to medium heat.
    Place pork on a greased grill and reduce heat to low.
    Cover and cook for about 20 minutes for a nice pink color inside. (NOTE: I have a Weber grill and it gets pretty hot on low so use your own judgment. 20 minutes was perfect for us).
    Turn every 5 minutes and baste with 1/2 cup marinade.
    Remove to a 200 degree preheated oven to keep warm. (Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you make the sauce).
    Sauce:
    The onions will be a little crip, so it that does not suit you, remove them with a slotted spoon before preparing the sauce.
    Place flour in a small saucepan.
    Gradually add remaining marinade and water, stirring with a whisk until blended.
    Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
    Spoon gravy over pork and serve.
