Instructions
1
Prepare the Maple-Mustard Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, spicy brown mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prepare the Pork Tenderloin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat the pork tenderloin evenly with the prepared mustard, ensuring all sides are covered. Then, wrap the tenderloin with the slices of bacon, overlapping slightly to cover the entire surface. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
3
Roast the Pork: Place the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (75°C), approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. For extra crispiness, you can broil the pork for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
4
Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with the Maple-Mustard Sauce and serve warm, accompanied by caramelized onions.
