Pork Tenderloin Bundles Food

PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Rub meat with the mustard powder and thyme to taste. Place in a nonreactive dish and add 1/2 cup sherry, 1/2 cup soy sauce, the garlic and the ginger. Coat the loin well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste the pork occasionally while cooking.
• Meanwhile, heat the apple jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons sherry and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, stir well, reduce heat to low and let simmer. Pour over the tenderloin when it's done.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

GRILLED VEGGIE PORK BUNDLES

Steps:

• Cross two bacon strips to form an "X"; repeat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper; place over bacon strips. Layer with onion, tomato and green pepper. Wrap bacon strips over vegetables and secure with a toothpick., Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place pork bundles over the drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. , Place cheese slices over bundles; cover and grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Discard toothpicks.

PORK TENDERLOIN BUNDLES

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 1" or thicker pieces, then flatten with the side of a cleaver or rolling pin to 1/2" thickness. Cross two slices of bacon, forming an "X". Place one of the flattened tenderloin slices on top. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder (no need for salt!), then top with a slice of onion and a slice of tomato. Bring up the four ends of the bacon slices and secure on top with a single wooden toothpick. This should form a neat package. Place on a broiling pan so drippings can drain. Bake uncovered 50 - 60 minutes. OR Grill over medium low heat 20 - 30 minutes, but be prepared to dowse the flames -- that bacon drips like crazy!
