Nurodymai

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil.

Drain the pineapple slices and reserve the juice. Cut slices into 3 or 4 pieces.

Mix the barbecue sauce with 3 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice. Set aside.

Cut the onion in thin (up to ¼ inch) slices, resembling half-moon shapes.

Precook the bacon slightly. I like to microwave for up to 2 minutes. The bacon will not be fully cooked, just about half there. Cut the bacon into 3 or 4 pieces, each about 2 inches long.

Place the tenderloin flat on a cutting board and cut parallel slices across the meat, about an inch apart. Do not cut all the way through the meat, leave about 1/3 inch intact to hold the tenderloin together. *

Mix the salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Pour evenly along the length of the tenderloin. Rub the seasoning evenly around the meat and into the cut pockets. Place tenderloin in the prepared pan.

Take one slice of onion and stack it with a piece of bacon and pineapple. Place in one of the pockets in the tenderloin. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until all the pockets are filled.

Spoon about 6 tablespoons of the sauce evenly over the top of the prepared tenderloin. Top with thin slices of jalapeno pepper.

If you have some remaining pineapple, you can also add this to the top of the tenderloin.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat will be at least 145F when done.

Remove the tenderloin from the oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
