Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 10 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly across the surface of the pork. Ensure all parts of the tenderloin are coated.
On a clean surface, lay out the bacon slices side by side, slightly overlapping each other to form a large sheet of bacon.
Place the pork tenderloin at one end of the bacon sheet and carefully roll it up so that the bacon wraps tightly around the entire tenderloin.
Use kitchen twine tied at 2-inch intervals to secure the bacon in place and prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary evenly on top of the wrapped tenderloin for added flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
For an extra crispy bacon exterior, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of the bacon-wrapped tenderloin warm, enjoying the juicy interior and crispy exterior.
