Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place a sheet pan in the oven to preheat.
- Slice the pork tenderloin lengthwise, so it will open like a book, being careful to not cut all the way through. Open the loin and gently pound with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness and rectangular in shape.
- Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Spread the cream cheese in an even layer on the meat, leaving a 1/2 inch of pork uncovered around the edges. Spread the pesto on top of the cream cheese, then sprinkle on the pine nuts and sundried tomatoes. Top with an even layer of spinach. Starting on one of the longer sides of your rectangle, roll the meat closed into a long tube and set aside.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and lay out the bacon so the slices overlap slightly. Lay the rolled pork tenderloin at one end of the bacon strip arrangement, seam-side down. Using the plastic wrap, roll the bacon up and around the meat.
- Using butcher's twine, tie around the bacon at 2-inch intervals along the length of the roll, so that the bacon cannot come loose during cooking. Tuck the meat closed on both ends and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the pork, seam-side down, on the heated sheet pan and roast until the bacon is browned and the pork is cooked, about 45 minutes. Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.

PORK TENDERLOIN MEDALLION CHOPS WRAPPED IN BACON
everything goes better with bacon. These little pork tenderloin chops are really the filet mignon of pork so wrapping them in bacon makes sense just like you would a steak. They're quite a bit smaller though so you want to allow for 2 to 3 per guest. Be sure to use thinly sliced bacon so it will get cooked through at the same...

Steps:
- 1. soak 12 toothpicks in water for at least one hour.
- 2. To make the glaze, in a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat the apple juice. Bring to a slow boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until reduced to 1 cup. Add the sugar and mix well. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. Wrap a slice of bacon around the circumference of each tenderloin medallion and secure with a toothpick. Season each chop lightly on both sides with black pepper.
- 3. Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium heat. Place the chops directly on the cooking grate. Cook for three minutes. Flip and cook for three more minutes. Flip and brush with the prepared glaze. Cook for one minute. Brush again, flip, and brush the other side. Cook for one minute more and brush again. Flip and brush two more times cooking for one minute each time. Remove to a platter and let rest for three minutes before serving. Serves 4 to 6.The apple glaze is very simple but makes a perfect accompaniment to the pork and bacon combo. These would go very well served with a rice pilaf and green peas.
Tips:
- Choose a good quality pork tenderloin: Look for one that is evenly colored and free of any blemishes.
- Trim the pork tenderloin: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloin before wrapping it in bacon.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your pork tenderloin.
- Cook the pork tenderloin to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the tenderloin reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- Let the pork tenderloin rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender pork tenderloin.
