Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 strips bacon (about 13 ounces)
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lay the bacon onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a baking rack. Bake until the bacon has rendered some of its fat but is still completely flexible and hasn't begun to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • Generously sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne. Coat the tenderloin all over with the mixture.
  • Starting at one end, wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin, overlapping them slightly so they are shingled.
  • Place the tenderloin on the baking rack and roast until 130 degrees F at the thickest point, about 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board using a long offset spatula and tongs. Slice into 1-inch-thick rounds and serve.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 chops, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
8 slices bacon
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slather the chops with barbeque sauce. Flip the chops and slather the other side as well, until barbeque sauce is used up.
  • Lay a sprig of rosemary on each chop (letting the ends hang over the edge, for easy removal before serving).
  • Wrap bacon slices tightly around each chop.
  • Prepare broiler pan (or any roasting pan with a rack), by spraying surface with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the meat should register about 150°F
  • Turn oven to broil and broil on each side until bacon is crisp.
  • Let chops rest for a few minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.
  • If desired, serve with additional warmed barbeque sauce.
  • Note: To cook on grill, cook over direct heat for about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking until internal temperature is 150°F (about 30 minutes).

BACON WRAPPED, PORK LOIN CHOPS



Bacon Wrapped, Pork Loin Chops image

Tired of the same old pork chops, I thought I would do them on the grill, bacon wrapped. I used a mixture of charcoal briquettes and charcoal. The briquettes last longer and the charcoal adds that campfire flavor, while the bacon added the taste of smoked hickory. Marinating them for 2 days in the Orange Juice Brine provided the hint of orange flavor, and helped to create a real moist chop. Butt Kickin' Blacken contains neither slat nor sugar, and is available at http://www.capnrons.com/index.html?ID=RZ For additional, instructional pictures, Please visit http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Bacon_Wrapped_Pork_Loin_Chops.html?ID=RZ

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 chops, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lbs whole pork loin
4 large oranges, zest and juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 large lemon, zest and juice
4 garlic cloves, grated
1/4 cup kosher salt, coarse
butcher's kitchen twine
8 slices thick-sliced bacon
vegetable oil, as needed
cajun seasoning, Butt Kickin' Blacken, Original Recipe, as needed
coarse kosher salt, as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the fat and silver skin from the pork loin, then cut it into 8 equal pieces. Each chop should be 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" thick. If your pork loin isn't large enough, you may get only 6 pieces out of it. The thick chops, will end up more tender and moist after they've been cooked on the grill.
  • 2. Mix up the ingredients for the marinade. Then, place the pork chops, and the marinade into a plastic bag. Set this in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, but you could leave it as long as 48 hours without harming the chops.
  • 3. Cut the butcher's twine into lengths that will go around each chop, with a bunch additional length. Make sure you cut a couple of extra strings, because you might drop one or two on the floor like I usually do.
  • 4. Wrap the bacon around each chop, then tie with the twine.
  • 5. Set them on a platter, drizzle with the oil, put a heavy dusting of blacken and a little Kosher Salt on each chop, and rub it in well. Turn them over, and do the other side.
  • Ron' Note:.
  • If you notice that the seasoning isn't pasty after you've applied it to the chops, just add a little more oil.
  • 6. Cook over a fairly low fire, on the grill. Mine was on for about 50 minutes this time. Cook to an internal temperature of 140 - 145 degrees, with an instant read meat thermometer. When each is done, place on a platter and cover with aluminum foil to rest. I found that I took 4 off the first go-round, then gave it another five minutes. As they cook, you'll feel them begin to firm up. If they're still squishy, they probably aren't done yet.

BAKED BACON-WRAPPED CENTER-CUT PORK CHOPS



Baked Bacon-Wrapped Center-Cut Pork Chops image

We get these beautiful little 4 ounce bacon-wrapped center-cut pork chops in our meat order each month. This is Elswet's recipe for the perfect baked chop, and it is written for 2. The Ingredients list will undoubtedly state 8 ounces of pork chop because I've never been able to master this submitting a recipe thing. I've tried it without any marination time, and you can DEFINITELY tell the difference. It's not horrible, but it's nowhere near as good. DO NOT allow the pan to be rattled. You want the onions and apples to remain loosely piled atop the chops. It acts as a natural basting process as these cook and the juices run into the meat. I've never had apples with pork before, but it's fantastic! We hope you enjoy these like we do! NOTE: The pictured photo submitted by me was accomplished using this recipe served on a bed of my own "Better Than Instant, Instant Stuffing."

Categories     Pork

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 pork chops, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces center-cut pork chops
2 slices bacon
1 small Red Delicious apple
1 small onion
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon meat tenderizer, no MSG, unseasoned
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 large garlic clove, sliced very thin

Steps:

  • Wrap your center cut pork chops with bacon and fix into place. Line a loaf pan with aluminum foil and grease the bottom with a tiny bit of oil or cooking spray. Place your chops into the center of the pan, neither touching the sides, nor one another.
  • Directly onto each chop, deposit 1/4 teaspoon no MSG unseasoned meat tenderizer, flip chop and repeat. Both sides are now tenderized and oiled. Add thyme, salt, pepper, sage, ground celery seed, and garlic.
  • Using a medium grater, grate small onion equally right onto each chop, repeat with small apple. Split white wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce evenly, pouring over onion and apple.
  • Cover and let marinade in refrigerator overnight if possible. 4 hours should do the trick, if you don't have the time.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and bake, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. When done, the apple and onion should still be on top of the pork chop. Leave them as garnish and remove to serving plate. Serve hot over a bed of pork dressing. Enjoy!
