Grilled Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
This Grilled Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin is ready to grill in minutes and glazed to perfection with an easy bourbon barbecue glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 8 ounces hickory smoked bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the glaze:
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ounce bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Oil your grill grates and heat grill to high heat. Prepare for both direct and indirect cooking.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry, and season with garlic powder and black pepper.
- Cut bacon strips (check notes below). Wrap the pork tenderloin with bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
- Place pork tenderloin on the grill. Grill over high heat for 6 minutes. Flip, and grill on the other side for an additional 6 minutes.
- Make the glaze: While the pork is grilling, combine the ingredients for the bourbon glaze in a small sauce pan. Allow to simmer over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the pork tenderloin to indirect heat OR lower the temperature on your grill burners to low heat.
- Baste with glaze and allow to grill for an additional 3 minutes per side, continuously basting with the glaze.
- Remove the pork when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit using an instant read thermometer.
- Transfer the grilled tenderloin to a platter and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
I like to cut the bacon down to 3/4 strips for the middle section of the pork tenderloin, and 1/2 strips for the skinnier ends.
