Instructions
Cut the tenderloin lengthwise into 6 long strips approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Lay the slices on a cutting board; they should be the same size and shape as the bacon strips.
Place a strip of bacon on top of each piece of tenderloin. Starting at one end, roll the tenderloin into a pinwheel medallion. Secure with two toothpicks.
Set aside 1 cup of the Carolina Mustard Sauce and apply remaining sauce to the outside of the pinwheels. Stir together the pecans, salt, and pepper, and coat the tenderloin pinwheels with the pecan mixture.
Cut each of the pinwheels through the equator to make two thin pinwheel medallions.
Build a charcoal and/or wood fire for direct grilling.
Place the medallions on the grill over medium-high heat (375 to 400°F) and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until the edges of the bacon start to crisp.
Serve with the reserved sauce drizzled over each pinwheel.
Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese
Pork Tenderloin works really well with Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The Susana Balbo Nosotros Single Vineyard Nomade Malbec with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 109 dollars per bottle.
