How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin On The Grill Or Broiler
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your broiler to high.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
- If using a marinade (recipe #70178), marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Wrap the pork tenderloin tightly with bacon slices, securing them with toothpicks if needed.
- Season generously with freshly cracked black pepper (or your preferred seasoning blend).
- For grilling: Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- For broiling: Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Broil for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
