Bacon
Trim the fat and the chain away from the tenderloin. Using the center part of the loin cut into desired portions and set aside. You can use the ends and trimming for tips, stroganoff or Kabobs. (just some ideas)
Take the portions of tenderloin and season them and mark them on the grill for nice diamond grill marks. Let them cool for awhile and then wrap with a thick cut piece of bacon folding the ends underneath each other so the bacon stays together around the tenderloin. Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes for medium rare and longer for a more well done.
