Grilled and bacon wrapped, this Grilled Maple Bacon Pork Tenderloin looks as good as it tastes. The glaze is simple and comes together before your coals can get hot, and it also doubles as a sauce for the pork. The bacon weave is the icing on the cake here, completely over the top and unnecessary but for the sheer beauty of it all. This might be the prettiest thing to come off your grill all summer, and nobody has to know how easy it is but you.

Grilled Maple Bacon Pork Tenderloin with Bacon Weave

As the dull gray of winter fades and spring begins to bloom, the hearts of Men awaken and compel them to fire up their grills. After laying dormant for many months, it only takes a couple of breezy, sunny days to bring these deep seated desires back to life, and the unmistakable smell of smoke begins to fill the evening air. Men can be seen in hardware stores, loading up carts with bulky bags of charcoal and shiny silvery sets of grill tools. Occasionally there will be a Man sighting at the local grocery store. (Pro Tip: Although it almost always occurs in the meat section, the beer aisle is also a great place to Man watch.) Serious Men, Manly Men, might even grow their beards and mustaches longer to hide the curling edges of their Manly mouths into something that somebody might mistake as a smile.

 

There is much to be done in the spring, and it is all outdoors. After all, a well Manicured lawn is the hallmark of a well Mannered Man. Saturdays are for mowing and mulching, plowing and planting, seeding and sprinkling with water to make things grow. Weed Eater line needs to be replaced. Trimmings need to be blown off the sidewalk. Power tools require maintenance. Blades must be sharpened. Men are busy. Men are working hard. Men are sweaty and smelly and still they will cook you dinner. Maybe not all of dinner. Men will leave the sides up to their wives, but Men will definitely grill the meat. (Men would hate to spoil their wives.)

 

So here is a Manly recipe. This Grilled Maple Bacon Pork Tenderloin consists of pork, wrapped in pork. And it doesn’t take much time. But Men will act like it does. Men will pretend that they have slaved over this porcine platter with great care and curious attention to detail. They will drop hints about secret techniques that can never be divulged. Men will boast about the fussing and fidgeting with the coals, keeping the fire at a constant temperature to ensure even cooking, when in reality, Men will have been outside drinking beer the whole time. And Men will bask in the glory of praise and admiration when they place this Grilled Maple Bacon Pork Tenderloin on the table. Some Men might even smile a little, underneath their beards.

Mom's Maple Glaze for pork tenderloin

Mom's Maple Glaze

My mother's tried and true maple glaze graced many a table in my youth. It's still one of my favorite things to put on a pork tenderloin. You'll use about half of this for one dinner (or two pork tenderloins). The rest will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.
