Cherry Glazed Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin 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 TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay the bacon onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a baking rack. Bake until the bacon has rendered some of its fat but is still completely flexible and hasn't begun to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• 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.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat dry the pork tenderloin and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then wrap with the bacon, overlapping the slices.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then brown the pork and shallots, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the pork tenderloin browned-side up and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the pork reaches 145 degrees F in the center, 15 to 18 minutes.
• When the pork is done, transfer to a cutting board, leaving the shallots in the skillet. Add the cherries and stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water, then add to the skillet, bring to a boil, whisking until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Slice the pork into 8 pieces, divide among 4 plates with the sauce, and sprinkle with dill, if desired.

CHERRY GLAZED, BACON WRAPPED, PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Place the Cherry Preserves in a sauce pan over medium heat until it melts. Add the Blacken and vinegar and stir it up good. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Blend with a food processor, blender, or an immersion blender (like I did). The whole cherry will help thicken the sauce.
• As it cools, it'll thicken because you've boiled off some of the water in the preserves, this is when you add the port wine. Add enough so that you've got a nice basting sauce. Set this aside while you cook the Pork.

• Pork Tenderloin normally comes 2 / pkg., Separate them, rinse, then remove the silver skin, and any grizzle that might be there. The ones that I had also had a piece on the end that I removed, in order to make each piece more uniform in size.
• Lightly season the Pork with about 1 teaspoon of Butt Kickin' Blacken per tenderloin.
• I use a thick cut bacon, this time it happened to be coated with black pepper. I removed most of the pepper, then toothpicked 3 slices bacon per tenderloin, in a spiral, leaving about 1" in between each slice as it wrapped around. I didn't put any additional seasoning on at this time, because the bacon already had plenty of pepper to it, and the bacon would provide the salt.
• Cook on a medium grill until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140 - 145 degrees. The meat should be barely pink inside, and will be real moist.
• Begin basting with the Cherry Glaze, about 15 minutes before they're done.
• When it's done, place it on a platter, cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest about 15 minutes before carving. When carving, slice it into 1/2" slices on an angle to give larger pieces.
• Ron's Note:.
• Be sure to remember to remove the toothpicks when carving, and try to cut all the way through in one slice of the knife. Otherwise you might end up with jagged slices.
