BBQ Pork Tenderloin With Bacon Recipe

Directions:

1. Fennel Spice:
2. Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
3. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly.
4. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding or they will gum up the blades.
5. Pour the seeds into a blender and add the kosher salt.
6. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds.
7. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
8. Assembling the Skewers:
9. Rub both sides of the pork medallions with the spice rub.
10. Take a 1/2 slice of bacon and wrap it around the outer edge of each medallion.
11. Secure it by pushing a skewer right through the middle of the medallion; place 3 medallions on each skewer.
12. You should now have 3 round pieces of pork showing, the bacon from one medallion touching the next one (see picture) on each skewer.
13. Barbecue on High heat; flip after 4 minutes; continue cooking until browned and cooked.
