Techniques
- 1 whole pork tenderloin
Trim any silver skin; butterfly the tenderloin by cutting down the middle two thirds to three quarters of the way through.
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard
- minced rosemary
- thinly sliced sage leaves
Season generously with kosher salt and pepper, spread a teaspoon or two of Dijon thinly, and scatter minced rosemary and sliced sage.
- breadcrumbs
- chopped walnut
- dried cranberries
Sprinkle very lightly with breadcrumbs, then scatter toasted chopped walnuts and dried cranberries, leaving about an inch bare on the far edge.
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- cayenne
- cheap bacon
Set on a foil-lined pan, season the outside lightly with salt, pepper and cayenne, and wrap the length in a single layer of thin bacon, ends underneath.
Roast in the center of a 450 degree oven about 25 minutes, to an internal temperature of at least 145.
- white wine
- balsamic vinegar
- 1 spoon Dijon
For the sauce, whisk a splash of white wine, a little balsamic and a spoon of Dijon over medium heat and reduce by about half.
- 2 pieces cold butter
- salt and pepper
Off the heat add a couple pieces of cold butter and a pinch of salt and pepper; shake and swirl 30 seconds to a minute until emulsified and shiny.
Rest the pork at least five minutes, slice thick at an angle and serve over the sauce.
