Bacon & Cider Pork Tenderloin
1 pork tenderloin (1.5-2 pounds)
Salt & Pepper
1 T. Olive Oil
8 Strips thin-sliced bacon
1/4 C. Shallots, Minced
1/2 C. Apple Cider or juice
2 T. unsalted cold butter slice
Trim tenderloin of fat and silver skin and cut into streaks (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 sauté pan over medium-high and sauté pork until browned, 5 minutes per side. 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 degrees, about 5 minutes. Remove pork and keep warm, pour off all but 1 T drippings. Sauté shallots 2 minutes in same pan, stirring constantly. Deglaze with cider, scraping up browned bits; simmer 2 minutes, then add butter, swirling until melted. Return pork to pan along with any accumulated juices. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remover toothpicks before serving.
