Pork Loin with Pinot Noir Sauce
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 10 slices applewood smoked thick-cut bacon, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cups demi-glace
- 3/4 cup pinot noir wine
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Slice each tenderloin crosswise into 4 equal pieces.
- Wrap 1 piece of bacon around the pork and secure with toothpick or wooden skewer.
- Repeat with the remaining pork and bacon.
- Sprinkle with pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over moderately-high heat, add the pork and cook until golden brown, turning once, about 6 minutes total.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until no longer pink in the middle and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet over moderate heat, cook the remaining bacon until crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
- Keeping the fat in the pan over moderate heat, add the shallots to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the demi-glace and wine and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the pork with generous drizzle of the pinot noir sauce.
