How to make a Pork Tenderloin?!
Answers: Okay so I need some help. I have a pork tenderloin that I need to cook tonight. Here is my plan. I will sautee some onions and mushrooms in butter. Cut the inside of the tenderloin and add the mushrooms and onions. Wrap. Then wrap bacon and around the tenderloin and tie with meat rope. I will also be seasoning with salt, pepper, and brown sugar on the outside maybe a little garlic salt. How does it sounds? And what temprature do I cook it in the oven and how long?
Sounds good! May I suggest a little bit of thyme and the garlic salt in the onion/mushroom stuffing? [I wouldn't use the garlic salt (or any salt) on the outside as the bacon will add that flavour for you.] Will you be searing the outside once it's wrapped in the bacon? This will have two effects, it will ensure the bacon cooks fully and give a crispy yummy crust outside.
Here are some cooking guidelines for finishing the roast. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C or gas mark 4). After searing the tenderloin to partially cook the bacon, roast the loin a further 25 - 35 minutes or until meat is 145 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Remove the tenderloin to a platter and keep it warm. Allow meat to rest about 10 minutes before cutting into 2-inch serving pieces. De-fat the drippings and drizzle them over the each piece of meat before serving.
Cheers
I'm glad it worked out. I do a shoulder roast which is good; make a dry rub with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cloves, blk pepper, kosher salt, sometimes ground chipolte pepper, fine minced garlic. Roast in cast iron pot, filled nearly covered with water for 4 - 5 hours at 325f. mmmmmmmm Report It
