Bacon-cider Pork
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : A List Pork-Ham
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin (1 1/2 to 2 lbs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slices thin-sliced bacon
1/4 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup apple cider or juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
Trim tenderloin of fat and silverskin and cut into steaks (about 1 1/2" thick). Season with salt and pepper.
Wrap each steak with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Heat oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat and saute pork 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Tip the steaks on their edges to brown the bacon, rolling them as they brown, about 3 minutes total. Cover and finish cooking to an internal temperature of 145°F, about 5 minutes. Remove pork and keep warm; pour off all but 1 Tbs drippings.
Saute shallots for 2 minutes in the same pan, stirring constantly. Deglaze with cider, scraping up the brown bits and simmer 2 minutes. Then add butter, swirling until melted. Return pork to pan along with any accumulated juices and season sauce with salt and pepper.

My copy was waiting for me when we got home yesterday!! Those recipes look really good. Are you suggesting them for next dinner menu, BillyJ? (the week of 6/19)?

The taters are great. So was the spinach, but I didn't add the red pepper flakes.
Re: Bacon-cider Pork with......... - bjcotton - 06-07-2006
Yes Jean, I thought we might do those if everyone agrees. I'll be returning home on the 17th or 18th. Spending another week watching Marilee's house and dogs in Portland.

Sounds like a winner to me - I'm in.

Sounds really good! It even looks doable on the boat! I've got some applewood smoked bacon! Yummmmm!
Re: Bacon-cider Pork with......... - bjcotton - 06-07-2006
I've got some of that 4X smoked bacon I'll use. It's a little thick *sigh*, but tastes sooooooo very good!

ME TOO!!!
Re: Bacon-cider Pork with......... - bjcotton - 06-09-2006
Oh good. We're on for the main dish anyway, but I'll have to come up with something besides the Marmalade Sweet Potatoes...maybe I'll bake the sweet potato wedges with a little butter and then grate some parmesan over them.
My little sis, living in the middle of the truck farm, said she would get me a whole big bag of fresh spinach, right out of the field....yum! Think I'll go raid their cold room. (The truck farm cold room that is.)
