Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
This bacon wrapped pork tenderloin is an extra special meal! Garlic and brown sugar spice up the pork, which roasts with strips of bacon on top until crispy. Delicious, festive and simple!
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound of bacon, you may not need it all!
- A few fresh rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the pork tenderloins completely dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, mix together the garlic, brown sugar, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil to make a paste. Place the tenderloins in a roasting pan and rub the paste all over them.
- Take the bacon and cut it into strips to wrap around the tenderloin. I wrap from the bottom side all around to the other side - but not under the tenderloin. Simply lay the strips over the tenderloin, tucking the sides right under. Place the rosemary sprigs around the tenderloin.
- Roast the tenderloin for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads at least 145 degrees F.
