Pork Medallions with a Compound Butter
Had a pork tenderloin in the fridge that I had to do something with last night, didn't feel like grilling it whole so I decided to treat it like a filet mignon. Sliced and wrapped in bacon and then dusted with Salt Lick Rub.
Tossed it on the Egg at 400F
Started pulling them when they hit 135-140ish, let rest for 5 minutes, then topped with a garlic mustard compound butter I whipped up earlier.
Pretty darn tasty even if that one sliced open was a bit more done than I would have preferred. Salty from bacon, peppery from the Salt Lick and a rich depth of flavor from the compound butter. Simple and quick weekday meal, kicking myself now because I really should have used the Mini. I feel like its been neglected recently.
Compound butter was 1/2 stick of butter softened at room temp, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp of Salt Lick Rub. Whip together, roll into a log with plastic wrap and placed in refirgerator to chill until needed.

I saw those and ran to the store for a tenderloin and will be trying shortly. You said the butter mix was a garlic butter but never listed garlic as an ingredient. Should I add garlic to the butter?

Crap. Sorry. ONe or two gloves of garlic finely minced or better yet put through a garlic press and mixed in with the butter.Rowlett, Texas

So Griffin, I did this tonight, and wow it was great. That butter on top,,,, Well it is soooo tasty. One problem I had was that the pork got done a little sooner and then the bacon wasn't quite done enough, can you elaborate some. It was a little balancing act to get them on edge. Did you pre-cook the bacon at all. It was a wonderful meal, just wanted to ask for a bit more detail. Thank-you Sir.Large, small, and a mini

I do mine except pre cook the bacon a couple minutes. The wife likes her bacon cooked more than I do but they are delicious this way.. Nice quick cook. Ill have to try it with your compound butter

@smokesniffer - It came out ok for us, but it wouldn't hurt to nuke the bacon for a minute or so first if you want. Make sure you are using thin cut bacon and that when you wrap it, it just overlaps enough to secure it with a toothpick. You don't wnat to use a whole strip of bacon and overlap it. It was sort of a balancing act to get them to stand up. You could always use something to help them, say one of the three little green feet. Sometimes I use a CI Bacon Press. A foil wrapped brick could work. Something heat resistant.
@texaswig - glad they worked out for you.

I too was feeling inspired yesterday after seeing this, so I went straight to the store after work and got the necessary ingredients.Here's everything assembled.Guns hot.Plated (not very well)And money shotThe compound butter really was the star of this. My medallions were done a bit differently (I just used my homemade pork butt rub on them) and my butter was basically the same, plus some chopped cilantro and a little heavier on the garlic. Thanks, Griff. This was great and got rave reviews from everyone.
