How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin With Maple Mustard Sauce
- **Maple Mustard Glaze:**
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Set aside and let cool slightly.
- **Pork Tenderloin:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat a 1.5-2 lb pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the maple mustard glaze evenly over the pork tenderloin.
- Wrap the tenderloin tightly with 6-8 slices of bacon.
- Place the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin in a roasting pan.
- Roast for 50-70 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- During the last 20 minutes of cooking, prepare the caramelized onions: Sauté 1 large onion, thinly sliced, in 2 tablespoons butter until golden brown and caramelized.
- Serve the sliced pork tenderloin over caramelized onions, drizzled with the remaining maple mustard glaze.
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!
