Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin On The Grill Or Broiler Recipes

BACON WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
• Lay out bacon: Lay the bacon strips vertically on a board, slightly overlapping (see photo in post). There should be enough bacon so when rolled will wrap the length of the pork.
• Season the pork with salt and pepper. Tuck the thin end of the fillet under so the pork is roughly the same thickness from end to end.
• Brown pork: Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until nicely browned. (Don't worry about cooking through, it will go in the oven.) Turn off heat, remove pork and allow to cool enough to handle.
• Wrap pork in bacon: Place pork on the arranged bacon at the end closest to you. Use a long knife to lift the bacon under the pork and roll the pork so the bacon wraps around the fillet. Finish with the bacon seam side down.
• Honey: Use the knife to transfer back into the skillet. Drizzle over honey and brush all over.
• Bake 25 minutes: Transfer skillet to oven for 25 minutes and roast pork until the internal temperature is 65°C / 149°F. (Note 1) Baste with pan juices at the 20 minute mark, mopping up plenty of the honey and juices pooled in the pan (this will make bacon deep golden).
• Rest 5 minutes: Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Baste once more just before serving. To serve, cut into thick slices. Serve with remaining pan juices.

BACON WRAPPED PORK MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and still flexible, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove any excess bacon grease from the skillet. Combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Wrap the pork tenderloin with the bacon strips securing with 1 or 2 toothpicks per strip of bacon. Slice the tenderloin between each bacon strip to create the medallions. Dip both sides of the medallions in seasoning mix. Melt butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each medallion for 4 minutes on each side.
• Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside, Trim off any excess fat on the surface of the tenderloins.
• Preheat your grill for medium-high heat.
• Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels and brush on the sauce. Make a few passes. This next part can get a tad messy so prepare yourself. Cut bacon into halves or thirds depending on the size of tenderloin. Make sure there is enough length to overlap. The bacon and tenderloin will shrink during the cooking process. Wrap bacon around sauced tenderloin and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Don't panic if some of the sauce squishes out. This will happen, and this is why you brush so much to begin with.
• Place wrapped and tied (or secured) tenderloins onto the grill and cook for 20-30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. Watch for burning and move to a cooler part of the grill if needed. The tenderloins are done once they reach 150-155 degrees F., in the thickest part of the meat and the bacon is cooked through.
• Remove from grill and meat let rest for a few minutes. Carefully remove toothpicks or cut twine, slice into 1" thick pieces and serve.

BROILED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400. Mix the spices with the oil. Tie the end of the tenderloin so that it is a constant thickness. Slather the spice/oil mixture all over the tenderloins. Put them in a pan lined with AL foil (shiny side up). Let set for 10 minutes to let the salt soak on the meat. Turn the oven to broil; stick in the meat. Have it approximately 5 inches below broiler. Cook for 5 minutes (the top outside of meat should be browned), and flip it over. Cook for another 8 to 15 minutes (until center is 125). Pull them out and let them rest with a tent for 10 minutes. Eat!!!!

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BROILED POLENTA

Steps:

• Heat broiler with a rack 6 inches from heating element and another rack below. Season pork with salt and pepper. Wrap bacon around pork in a single layer, stretching slices so ends overlap on bottom. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, seam-side down. Lightly drizzle oil all over sheet around pork. Add polenta and onion to sheet in a single layer; turn to coat with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Broil 5 minutes. Flip pork; broil 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, place asparagus on another rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Flip pork seam-side down again. Place sheet with asparagus on lower rack. Roast until asparagus is crisp-tender and a thermometer inserted in middle of pork registers 140 degrees, about 12 minutes. Generously drizzle asparagus and onion with vinegar. Let pork rest 10 minutes before carving and serving, with polenta and vegetables.

• Generously sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne. Coat the tenderloin all over with the mixture.
• Starting at one end, wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin, overlapping them slightly so they are shingled.
• Place the tenderloin on the baking rack and roast until 130 degrees F at the thickest point, about 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board using a long offset spatula and tongs. Slice into 1-inch-thick rounds and serve.
