Roasted Red pepper and Potato Gratin Pecan Sables

BACON-WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN & HERB STUFFING

2 Tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

1 Tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs

Cut the tenderloin almost in half lengthwise, leaving about 1/2- 1-inch at the bottom. Open the tenderloin like a book. Sprinkle tenderloin, inside and out, with salt and pepper.

Lay bacon in a single layer on top of the parchment paper, overlapping each other by about 1/8 inch. Place tenderloin at one end and use the parchment paper to roll the tenderloin in the bacon. Pull away parchment paper and secure bacon onto roast with string. Set on a v-shaped rack in a roasting pan.
