Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • 1 ¼ pounds pork tenderloin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat (375°F | 190°C) with an indirect zone or one burner on very low heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix the hot honey, Dijon mustard, and bourbon together.
  • Place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
  • Brush half the glaze all over the pork.
  • Starting at one end of the tenderloin, wrap the bacon snugly around the meat. Secure the end of each slice with a toothpick.
  • Grill the pork over indirect heat or a very low flame, turning occasionally and brushing with the remaining glaze after 15 minutes. Cook until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Notes

    • Create even thickness--If your pork tenderloin tapers off in thickness towards one end, fold the thin end under when wrapping it with bacon to create an evenly shaped pork tenderloin. This will help it to cook evenly.
    • Getting the bacon crispy--If your bacon isn't as crispy as you'd like and the pork is nearly cooked through, move the pork to a higher heat zone, but monitor it carefully. If the bacon flares, move it to a cooler part of the grill and let the flames subside.
    • Storage and reheating--Store leftover pork tenderloin in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
    • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
