Apple Cinder Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions




These Apple Cinder Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions are moist, delicious and full of flavor! You can also slice the pork tenderloin in half length-wise to make small pork medallions for appetizers or party food. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 Pork tenderloin
6-8 slices bacon
Season Salt- to taste
1 TBS olive oil
1/4 cup apple cinder vinegar

Instructions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees
Trim fat off pork tenderloin and cut into 1 inch thick medallions
Wrap medallions in 1 strip of bacon and secure with toothpick
Sprinkle one side of medallion with season salt.

Heat olive oil in a skillet until hot- cooking at medium to high heat. Set medallions season side down. Season other side. Sear each side of medallions- this takes 2-5 minutes. Put medallions on their side to crisp bacon- rotate so all bacon gets cooked.

Transfer to casserole dish.  Pour apple cinder vinegar evenly over pork medallions. Cover with foil and  transfer to oven to finish cooking for 15-20 minutes.

Let pork rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step by Step Instructions:


Ever seen one of these at the store and wonder "what would I do
with that?" Well this is it! Take the tenderloin out of the package and
trim all the fat.

Cut the tenderloin into 1 inch medallions
Wrap each medallion in a raw slice of bacon
Secure bacon with a toothpick (make sure not to use
colored toothpicks or you will have big colorful circles
on your food ).
Season one side with season salt.
Place medallion in frying pan with hot oil, season side down.
Season pork and sear both sides until slightly golden brown.
Once both sides are seared, turn pork on it's side
and cook to crisp bacon.
Place medallions in casserole dish and
pour apple cinder vinegar evenly over pork.

Cover with foil and bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Let pork sit for 5 minutes so juices can reabsorb. 
Enjoy!
