Grilled Bacon Wrapped Greek Pork Medallions

Your Dad is going to love these Grilled Bacon Wrapped Greek Pork Medallions for Father’s Day. If he likes fillet mignon he will go crazy for this recipe.

So Father’s Day is coming up soon. We usually spend Father’s Day on the road dropping the kids off at camp and last year we picked up some ribs from the local market and threw them on the grill when we got home. Check out my post for wet burritos to hear about the great summer camp my kids attend.

Have you had a chance to get your dad a gift for Father’s Day? A few weeks back, Uncommon Goods sent me a cast iron griddle pan as an early Father’s Day gift.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Greek Pork Medallions

I used mine to make my Grilled Bacon Wrapped Greek Pork Medallions. To explain what these are like, think of a bacon wrapped beef tenderloin filet mignon. They are so simple to make and you can cut them with a fork. Marinating the tenderloins for a couple of hours makes them incredibly tender and the bacon wrap keeps them moist.

METHOD: Whisk together the marinade and chill for at least two hours. Discard the marinade and cut the tenderloin in 1 1/2 thick slices. Place two medallions together at the flat part of the tenderloin and wrap with bacon. This can be assembled ahead of time and when you are ready to serve your dad, all you need to do is light up the grill.

Grill for 5-7 minutes per side and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

DO NOT OVERCOOK!! Serve my Grilled Bacon Wrapped Greek Pork Medallions along with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. Happy Father’s Day to me!!
