Ingredients
For 3
1 trimmed tenderloin, approx. 500g
Salt and pepper
8 thin slices bacon
Toothpicks if required
500 g green asparagus
100-150 g mixed salad
80 g blue mould cheese or parmesan
Dressing
¼ tbsp Dijon mustard

Method
- Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towel.
- Season with salt and pepper and wrap around the bacon. Secure with a couple of toothpicks if necessary.
- Put the tenderloin on a hot BBQ under indirect heat and grill for approx. 20 mins. Turn frequently
- Remove the tenderloin from the BBQ when it reaches a core temperature of 62-65 degrees - when the tenderloin is at its most juicy.
- Remove the root ends from the green asparagus.
- Cut the asparagus into equal lengths and rinse.
- Grill the raw asparagus for 3-4 mins on the BBQ.
- Mix the mustard with salt, pepper and vinegar. Mix in the oil a little at a time so that the dressing becomes a thin mayonaise.
- It can also just be shaken well.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix into the salad or serve seperately.
Tips
- Raw, green asparagus can be wrapped into slices of bacon and grilled until the bacon is crisp. Can be served as an appetiser or starter.
