Description

Pork tenderloin sliced lengthwise into six thin strips, each wrapped in bacon and rolled into a spiral pinwheel, brushed with a honey-mustard-bourbon Carolina sauce, coated in seasoned chopped pecans, and grilled over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes per side. A showstopping presentation with a spectacular combination of flavors.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Whole pork tenderloin
  • 6 slices Bacon, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 Cups Cup Prepared mustard (Carolina sauce)
  • 1/2 Cups Cup Honey (Carolina sauce)
  • 1/4 Cups Cup Cider vinegar (Carolina sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp Brown sugar (Carolina sauce)
  • 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce (Carolina sauce)
  • 1 tsp. Hot pepper sauce (Carolina sauce)
  • 1 Cup Pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Black pepper
Instructions
  1. 1
    Cut pork lengthwise into six ¼-inch slices. Each slice should be roughly the same size and shape as a bacon strip.
  2. 2
    Place a slice of bacon on each pork slice. Starting at one end, roll up tightly into a spiral. Secure with two toothpicks.
  3. 3
    Combine mustard, honey, cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and hot pepper sauce. Reserve 1 cup for serving. Brush remaining sauce over pork rolls.
  4. 4
    Combine pecans, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. 5
    Cut each secured roll in half to form two pinwheels (12 total). Secure ends with skewers. Coat each pinwheel in the pecan mixture.
  6. 6
    Grill over medium-high heat (375–400°F) for 6–8 minutes per side until pork is slightly pink in the center.
  7. 7
    Drizzle reserved sauce over pinwheels to serve.

Note

Use water-soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers to hold the pinwheels together — they unravel easily on the grill without them.

Reserve 1 cup of the Carolina sauce before brushing to serve alongside the finished pinwheels.
