Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions: Identifying Perfect Seasoning and Sides

Though tenderloin is extra juicy, it tends to have a mild flavor, so seasoning should be brought in for the assist. We recommend our Wicked Sweet Bourbon Seasoning.

A fan favorite, our Wicked Sweet Bourbon Seasoning blends sea salt, brown sugar, molasses and small-batch bourbon together to give your mouth a straight shot of unbeatable flavor. This delicious mix is enough to make these Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions a top-shelf favorite.

If you’re not a fan of super-fatty bacon, you can cook some of that fat away using the microwave. Place the bacon on a microwave-safe plate and cook for about two minutes. This will nuke away some of that grease before finishing on the grill.

Since you’re getting double meat in your main dish, how about some veggies on the side? These Grilled Mediterranean Veggies with Lemon could be a meal on their own, but they’re perfect for passing around the dinner table. The citrus of the lemon helps bring out some of those flavors in the pork seasoning.
