The Spicy Olive’s Caramelized Pork Tenderloin
THE SPICY OLIVE’S CARAMELIZED PORK TENDERLOIN
1 – (2 to 2.5lbs) of pork tenderloin
2 teaspoons of salt
½ teaspoon of paprika
½ teaspoon of The Spicy Olive’s Baklouti Fused Olive Oil
1 tablespoon of The Spicy Olive’s Portuguese Chiquitita EVOO or other Medium to Mild Single Varietal olive oil
3 tablespoons of The Spicy Olive’s Lavender Dark Balsamic Vinegar this would be delicious with any of our dark balsamics!
4 to 6 slices of bacon
1/3 cup of honey
2 tablespoons of mustard
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine salt and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the entire mixture on the pork tenderloin and wrap with bacon stripes, secure sides with toothpicks. In a large skillet heat Baklouti Fused Oil and Chiquitita over medium high heat, place tenderloin in skillet and let the sides seal.
In a small bowl combine the Balsamic Vinegar, honey and mustard and generously brush over the top of the tenderloin. Cook on skillet for 10-15 minutes while the Balsamic mixture gets caramelized. Transfer the tenderloin onto a foiled covered baking sheet, wrap with aluminum foil, place in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest so juices can redistribute into the meat. Remove toothpicks, slice and serve.
