Ingredients
- 2 ounces pork tenderloins, about 12 each, trimmed (or alternatively one larger tenderloin)
- Kosher salt
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- 8 medium thick slices bacon
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- Toothpicks
- Toothpicks
Preparation
- Sprinkle tenderloins with salt and pepper.
- Place in a bowl or shallow dish. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile soak toothpicks in water and prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high, indirect grilling (variation: soak some applewood chips to add just before cooking)
- Wrap bacon slices around pork, securing with toothpicks.
- Place on grill and brown for a few minutes, covered. Baste with some maple syrup and continue to grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with the maple syrup.
- The pork should be done in 20-25 minutes total, or until the internal temperature reaches about 150 and the bacon is uniformly crispy.
- Remove from grill and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with accumulated juices!
