Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin




Ingredients:
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 package thick bacon--about 8 to 10 slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon pork rub
Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  2. On a cutting board, lay out the bacon in a horizontal line. The slices should be slightly overlapping, as seen below.
  3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. 
  4. Add oil to a large skillet over high heat.
  5. Add pork to skillet and sear on all sides until nicely browned.
  6. Remove pork from skillet. Place pork on the bacon slices. 
  7. Roll the pork up while using a knife to help keep the bacon slices together. Finish with the seam side down.
  8. Add bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin to a large baking pan. Drizzle honey over pork and brush to spread evenly.
  9. Roast for approximately 35 minutes, stopping once or twice to baste with the accumulated juices at the bottom of the baking pan.
  10. Remove from oven. Baste once again and then let rest for five minutes. 
  11. Cut into thick slices and serve. I topped mine with caramelized onions, as seen above. Enjoy!
