A Small Garlic Press
1 pork tenderloin -- sliced 1-inch thick 2 tomatoes -- sliced 1/4 inch thick 2 sweet onions -- sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 pound bacon slices (approximately) pepper garlic powder Slice the pork tenderloin into 1" or thicker pieces, then flatten with the side of a cleaver or rolling pin to 1/2" thickness. Cross two slices of bacon, forming an "X". Place one of the flatten tenderloin slices on top. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder (no need for salt!), then top with a slice of onion and a slice of tomato. Bring up the four ends of the bacon slices and secure on top with a single wooden toothpick. This should form a neat package. Grill over medium low heat, but be prepared to dowse the flames -- that bacon drips like crazy! These are done when the tenderloin loses all pinkness, about 20-30 minutes. These also work well in the oven.
