A simple and reliable recipe featuring juicy pork tenderloin wrapped in crispy bacon, seasoned with garlic and herbs, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or impressive dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds / 450 to 680 grams), trimmed of silver skin
  • 8 to 10 slices thin-cut bacon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional: drizzle of honey or maple syrup before roasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the pork tenderloin by removing silver skin and excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Rub olive oil all over the pork, then evenly coat it with the seasoning mix.
  5. Lay out bacon strips on a cutting board, slightly overlapping. Place the tenderloin at one edge and roll it tightly in the bacon, tucking the ends underneath.
  6. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bacon starts to brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  9. Slice into ½-inch (1.25 cm) thick slices and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the pork for 1-2 minutes after roasting but watch closely to avoid burning. Use thin-cut bacon for best crispiness. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. If bacon starts burning before pork is done, tent loosely with foil.
