Pork tenderloin help

I've got 6 pounds of tenderloin and would like some suggestions. A friend of mine told me about a pot roast she did. All it was a roast and vadalia onion dressing. She slow cooked it for hours. Just those two things.

So I was thinking of marinating the tenderloin in the onion dressing, then wrapping it in bacon and cooking it on the egg low and slow.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a first time tenderloin?

    I'd probably just cut it into nice thick steaks and grill it with some S&P.

    it'd be pretty small. only about an inch and a half across at the thickest part really....

    no need to go lo and slo, it won't help the meat. you want it around 350, 375, 400.

    roll it around a bit until the bacon is done and make sure you don't go over 140 internal.

    here's a stuffed one from a few weeks back, but same idea.

    trichinosis is dead at 138, at 140 the pork will have a nice texture without being overcooked. if you pull it off at 135 it will coast to 140. pink but firm is not unsafe at all

    If you like garlic, you might consider this. Peel a clove and slice it into thin strips. Using a paring knife, cut into the tenderloin at random locations (how many depends on how much you like garlic) and insert one thin slice of garlic into each notch. Olive oil and s&p to taste. I like it.

    Then again, anything with bacon will probably be better! :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Might try that after soaking it. Thought about using a rub on it. It was on sale, so whatever I do to it will be good.
