Steps:
- Cut the tenderloin lengthwise into 6 long strips approximately 1/4 inch thick. Lay the slices on a cutting board; they should be the same size and shape as the bacon strips. Place a strip of bacon on top of each piece of tenderloin. Starting at one end, roll the tenderloin into a pinwheel medallion. Secure with two toothpicks.
- Set aside 1 cup of the Carolina Mustard Sauce and apply remaining sauce to the outside of the pinwheels. Stir together the pecans, salt, and pepper, and coat the tenderloin pinwheels with the pecan mixture. Cut each of the pinwheels through the equator to make two thin pinwheel medallions.
- Build a charcoal and/or wood fire for direct grilling. Place the medallions on the grill over medium-high heat (375 to 400°F) and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until the edges of the bacon start to crisp. Serve with the reserved sauce drizzled over each pinwheel.

PECAN-COATED ROAST LOIN OF PORK
Steps:
- Rub the pork loin with olive oil, making sure that it is well covered. Combine the sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until you have a thick paste. You may have to add a drizzle of olive oil to get it started. Slather the paste all over the pork loin, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it over night.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pecans in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Roll the pork loin in the crushed pecans and place it in a roasting pan. Make a tent of aluminum foil and arrange it over the pork loin, covering the nuts completely so they won't char.
- Roast for 30 minutes; then lower the heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast. After 1 hour and 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue to roast until the pork is done, approximately 20 minutes more. Serve hot.
PECAN-CRUSTED PORK WITH PUMPKIN BUTTER
This is one of my favorite ways to eat pork. Pork chops are crusted in pecans and breadcrumbs, then topped with a delicious homemade pumpkin butter. (You can always use store bought pumpkin butter if you can find it but homemade is always better).

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides.
- Put the meat on a rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the pecans to the oil in the frying pan, cook over medium heat 1 minute and remove.
- Combine the bourbon, sugar and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Add to the frying pan and boil until the sugar dissolves and bourbon reduces slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
- After the meat has cooked 30 minutes, begin basting with the bourbon sauce.
- Cook until a meat thermometer stuck in the center reaches 160°F, about 30 more minutes.
- Five minutes before the meat is done, sprinkle with pecans.
Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of pork: Opt for a loin roast that has a good amount of marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during roasting.
- Preparing the pork: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the roast and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the rub adhere better and prevent the meat from becoming greasy.
- Making the pecan coating: Use a food processor to finely chop the pecans. This will help them adhere better to the pork and create a crispy crust.
- Applying the rub: Generously rub the pork roast with the prepared spice mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Allow the roast to rest for at least 30 minutes before roasting, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Roasting the pork: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature and place the pork roast on a roasting rack set over a baking sheet. Roast the pork for the specified time, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- Letting the pork rest: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
Conclusion:
Pecan-Coated Roast Loin of Pork is a delectable dish that combines the savory flavors of pork with the sweet and nutty taste of pecans. By following the tips mentioned above, you can create a restaurant-quality pork roast that is sure to impress your family and friends.
