Savory Elegance: Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Herb-Garlic Crust
🛒 Ingredients (Servings: 4–6)
  • 1 1½–2 lb pork tenderloin
  • 8–10 slices of bacon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Optional: toothpicks or kitchen twine

🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat Oven & Prep Pork:
🔥 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim any silver skin off the tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

2️⃣ Season the Tenderloin:
🧄 In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard into a paste. Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin.

3️⃣ Wrap with Bacon:
🥓 Lay bacon slices slightly overlapping on a cutting board. Place the tenderloin on top and roll it tightly so the bacon wraps completely. Secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine if needed.

4️⃣ Sear for Flavor:
🔥 In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloin seam-side down until the bacon is browned, about 3–4 minutes. Turn to brown all sides.

5️⃣ Roast in the Oven:
⏲️ Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

6️⃣ Serve:
🍽️ Slice into medallions and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or green beans.
