Yield Serves: 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pork tenderloin
6 bacon strips
Carolina Mustard Sauce
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by making a small incision in the center. The pork should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

The pork tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, and the pecan crust adds a sweet and crunchy touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to use up leftover pecans.
