Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1.5 lbs) Pork fillet
- 12 slices Streaky bacon
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your BBQ grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork fillet and pat it dry with paper towels.
Rub the fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle it with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring an even coating all around.
Lay the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping to form a bacon blanket. Place the pork fillet at the edge of the bacon blanket and carefully roll it, tucking the bacon tightly around the meat.
Secure the bacon with toothpicks or kitchen twine at intervals to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
Brush the bacon-wrapped fillet lightly with barbecue sauce, reserving the rest for later.
Place the pork fillet on the grill or in an oven-safe baking dish if cooking in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
After 20 minutes, baste the fillet with more barbecue sauce and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the fillet from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the fillet into 1-inch rounds and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
