Smithfield Bacon Wrapped Pork Filet Recipes

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).

BACON WRAPPED PORK FILETS WITH TEXAS CAVIAR

Steps:

• To make Texas Caviar, combine peas and onions in medium bowl. Whisk together oil, chili powder and vinegar; stir into black-eyed pea mixture until well coated. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill to medium-high. Wrap 1 slice of bacon around sides of each filet; secure with wooden pick.
• Grill pork filets 13 to 18 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees F. Serve filets with Texas caviar.

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.
