Grilled Pork Tender—The Prime Cut of Pork.
Pork tenders are versatile and virtually foolproof. They’re lean, trimmed, and quick-cooking. No matter how you decide to prepare them, just about the only way to goof up is to overcook the tenders and dry them out.

Ingredients
Preparation
Wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin and secure with toothpicks. Place in a plastic storage bag. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, onion, and garlic. Pour over the pork, squeeze excess air from the bag, and seal tightly. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat a broiler or set up a grill. Remove the meat from the marinade. Position about 4 inches from the heat source and broil or grill for 7 minutes. Turn the tenderloin and cook for 7 minutes more. Turn a final time and cook for about 4 minutes, until the meat has reached an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Remove to a cutting board and let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing. Pour natural juices, if any, over the sliced tenderloin and serve.
