I recently discovered tenderloin and think it might very well be my favorite meat right now. It's so, well, tender! And quite lean, too. This recipe was a crowd pleaser. I will definitely be making this one again.
For tips and tricks on selecting and preparing pork, see here.
What you'll need:
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
- 12 slices thinly sliced bacon, about 3/4 pound
Trim any excess fat and silver skin from the tenderloins (see here to find out how).
Cut the tenderloin into 1 1/2 inch pieces (about the same width as a piece of bacon). Season with salt and pepper.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of pork and secure with a toothpick. The bacon should overlap at the ends by no more than 1 inch.
Grill the pork over direct medium heat until the pork is barely pink in the center and the bacon is fully cooked (~12 - 15 minutes), turning once. If flare-ups occur, move the pork temporarily to indirect medium heat.

When they say "Everythings better with bacon", this is a perfect example of it!
