Texas Hill Country - the BBQ and Tex-Mex nexus

« on: July 29, 2010, 06:19:24 am »

Momma's home, and hungry.  Need some quick and tasty eats.  I decided to pull together ideas from three different dishes and produce some eats.

I started with a pork tenderloin, all silver skin and fat removed.  It was wrapped in a spiral bacon weave, with the bacon woven all the way around, not just wrapped, with toothpicks holding the ends down.  It was then seasoned with a commercial seasoning which I received in a Brethren trade.  Very nice stuff!  Here it is pre-seasoning:



On the grill, doing all sides until the bacon is cooked.  After that, it was moved to the cooler side to finish cooking.



Resting on the cutting board.  It was pulled at an internal temp of 138°.  Final internal was 146°. 
(If you like, we can have the 'pork temperature' discussion, but in a different thread.)



A sliced pic (blurry - sorry).  Very juicy, hard to keep from eating it right off the board!



Served up with a baked potato carrying butter, bacon salt, pepper and minced cilantro:



Here's the seasoning I used.  It has a terrific flavor profile, but not really any heat.  This is a good thing, as you can add chili/cayenne powder to make your desired heat level.  It's just hard to find!

Check your Spanish markets (bodegas) for the spice, or some larger stores will have it in the Spanish section.  I have seen it here in NY in some of the "Mexican Stores", as my Salvadoran Sweetie calls them. Wink

Looks great! How about seasoning the tenderloin and THEN wrapping it with the bacon?
