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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
