Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin trimmed
- 4 slices bacon
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Trim the pork tenderloin, removing the silver skin and any visible fat. Cut the pork tenderloin into four equal sections.
- Season the outside of each piece of pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Wrap a piece of bacon around the outside (uncut side) of the pork tenderloin pieces.
- Put the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin on a baking sheet and bake at 375-F for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle reads 145-150-F. Remove from the oven, let rest a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Card Tips
- Use a meat thermometer and pull the pork at 145 to 150°F. This is a lean cut that dries out fast if it's left in even a few minutes too long.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes before cutting. Cutting too soon lets the juices run out instead of staying in the meat.
- Stick with regular sliced bacon instead of thick-cut. Thinner bacon crisps at the edges in the time it takes the pork to finish cooking.
