1

Trim excess fat from the pork tenderloin and brush it with a light coat of olive oil.

2

Apply the spice rub made of salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram evenly over the meat.

3

Wrap the pork tenderloin in bacon, using plastic wrap to help secure it tightly.

4

Prepare the BBQ kettle and set it to a temperature of 130-150 degrees Celsius.

5

Soak the maple wood plank in water for the duration of the cooking.

6

Activate the wood plank by placing it directly on the coals until it starts to smoke, then move it to indirect heat and place the wrapped pork on it.

7

Cook the pork tenderloin until it reaches an internal temperature of 66-68 degrees Celsius, ensuring it remains slightly pink and juicy inside.

8

In a saucepan, sauté the chili pepper in olive oil until browned, then add apple cider vinegar and let it evaporate.

9

Add the juice of one orange, turmeric, and brown sugar to the saucepan and cook for a few minutes.

10

Incorporate the diced mango and the juice of the other orange, cooking for about ten minutes on medium heat.

11

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
