Bacon Wrapped Barbecue Pork Tenderloin Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir together mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Pat pork tenderloin dry. Without cutting all the way through, slice the tenderloin lengthwise and open like a book. Spread mustard mixture evenly over the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season with salt and pepper.
• Place apple slices on one side of the tenderloin. Spread onions on top of the apples and sprinkle with thyme. Close the tenderloin, tucking apples and onions inside.
• Line up bacon slices in a rectangle shape on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, with each piece overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed tenderloin across the top ends of the bacon. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin and start to roll it like a jellyroll until it's completely wrapped with bacon.
• Secure both ends of the tenderloin and each bacon slice with a wooden toothpick. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread out the foil to protect the pan from drippings.
• Cook in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and let rest until internal temperature has risen to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Season tenderloin with thyme, salt, pepper, and rosemary leaves. Wrap bacon around the tenderloin and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle garlic powder over the bacon, then pack brown sugar around the tenderloin.
• Cook in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Light grill for INDIRECT grilling. Front/back burners. Trim silverskin tendon from each tenderloin. Lightly sprinkle each with a half tsp of seasoning.
• Starting at one end, spiral wrap the bacon around each tenderloin, securing each piece with a toothpick. Lightly sprinkle each with remaining 1/2 tsp seasoning.
• Place on center of grill off of direct heat, reduce heat to medium. Turn each tenderloin a quarter turn every 15 minutes. Grill for one hour or until bacon is crispy and done. Move to direct heat the last 15 minutes if necessary. Remove toothpicks before slicing.
• Slice into 1/4" medallions and serve with baked beans and grilled potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Rub tenderloin with bbq rub then wrap with bacon slices using toothpicks to secure ends.
• Bake in a glass dish for 1 hour, on the middle rack, flipping tenderloin half way through (so the bacon doesn't get soggy).
• Turn oven to broil (staying at 350°) move pan to bottom rack and broil 20 minutes, turning tenderloin half way through.
• When tenderloin reaches and internal temperature of 155°-160° move dish back to middle rack, and paint tenderloin with bbq sauce. Broil for 5 minutes, then flip tenderloin, paint other side, and broil another 5 minutes.
• Let rest 5-10 minutes then slice into medallions, serve with bbq sauce.

Steps:

• Fennel Spice:
• Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
• Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
• When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.
• Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.
• Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
• Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• Assembling the Skewers:
• Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.
• Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.
• Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.
• You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.
• Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.
