Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1.5–2 lbs each)
- 12–16 slices of bacon (thin-cut works best)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (or honey glaze)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Pork Tenderloin: Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloins. Rub them with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Wrap in Bacon: Lay the bacon strips out, slightly overlapping, and place the tenderloin on top. Roll tightly so the bacon wraps around the pork. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Glaze: Brush the bacon-wrapped pork with barbecue sauce or honey glaze, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top for caramelization.
- Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for an additional 5–10 minutes to crisp the bacon.
- Rest: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice into thick medallions and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
