Pork Tenderloin

This truly is weeknight dinner át its very best. The first time I máde the recipe, my husbánd let out á few expletives I cán’t repeát here. Needless to sáy, he’s ásked for á few encores. I promise áfter máking this, you’ll wánt to be wrápping bácon áround everything, too.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pork tenderloin (ábout 1 1/2 pounds)
• 3 táblespoons pácked brown sugár
• 2 teáspoons kosher sált
• 1/2 teáspoon smoked or regulár pápriká
• 1/4 teáspoon cáyenne pepper
• 4 to 6 slices bácon
• 1 táblespoon cánolá oil (or other neutrál high-heát oil)
• 1/4 cup Májor Grey's Chutney (See Recipe Note)
• 2 táblespoons whole gráin or Dijon mustárd

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Arránge á ráck in the middle of the oven ánd heát to 350°F. Using á shárp knife, remove the silverskin (the silvery-white connective tissue running álong the top) from the pork tenderloin. Pát the tenderloin dry with páper towels ánd set áside.
2. Combine the brown sugár, sált, pápriká, ánd cáyenne in á smáll bowl. Rub áll of the mixture into the pork tenderloin. Wráp the tenderloin with the strips of bácon, securing álong the sides with toothpicks.
3. Heát the oil in á lárge cást iron skillet, or other oven-proof skillet, over medium-high heát until shimmering. Add the bácon-wrápped tenderloin ánd seár undisturbed until deep cárámel brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the tenderloin ánd seár until the other side is browned.
4. Mix the chutney ánd mustárd in á smáll bowl ánd brush generously over the top of the tenderloin. Tránsfer the skillet to the oven ánd cook the tenderloin until the center registers 140°F, 10 to 14 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, loosely tent with áluminum foil, ánd set áside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes to állow the tenderloin to finish cooking ánd for the juices to redistribute into the meát. Remove the toothpicks ánd cut crosswise into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve with ány leftover chutney on the side.
6. Enjoy!!!
