Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 12 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.
Rub the olive oil mixture evenly over the pork loin, ensuring full coverage.
Wrap the pork loin with bacon slices, slightly overlapping each slice to cover the entire surface. Secure the ends of each slice with a toothpick.
Brush the outside of the bacon-wrapped pork loin with honey to add a touch of sweetness and help it caramelize while cooking.
Place the pork loin on the preheated grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Grilled Pork Loin with Bacon!
