ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ - 2 lbs pork tenderloin
8 slices bacon, thin sliced
¹⁄₄ cup shallot, minced
¹⁄₂ cup apple cider or 1/2 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, sliced
salt and pepper

directions

Trim tenderloin of fat and silverskin and cut into steaks about 1 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
Wrap each steak with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Heat oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high and saute pork 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Tip the steaks on their edges to brown the bacon, rolling them as they brown, about 3 minutes total. Cover and finish cooking to an internal temperature of 145F, about 5 minutes. Remove pork and keep warm; pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings.
Saute shallots for 2 minutes in the same pan, stirring constantly. Deglaze with cider, scraping up the brown bits and simmer 2 minutes. Then add butter, swirling until melted. Return pork to pan along with any accumulated juices and season sauce with salt and pepper.
