Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the pork loin filet on all sides until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
While the pork sears, toss the brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
Once the pork is seared on all sides, arrange the brussels sprouts around the pork. Roast uncovered in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F and the brussels sprouts are tender.
Once done, remove the pork to a cutting board and transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Cranberry glaze
Place the same skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and add the whiskey to deglaze the skillet. Let the whiskey simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until reduced by half.
Add the remaining cranberry glaze ingredients and simmer over medium heat until the glaze is thickened and the cranberries burst, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.
Slice the pork and drizzle with cranberry glaze. Serve with the roasted brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.
