Preheat oven to 400 F.

 In a skillet cook bacon until golden and chop.

Reserve 1 tbsp of the bacon fat or discard and use 1 tbsp olive oil and cook mushrooms with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Step 4

Remove the silver skin of the pork tenderloin carefully using a sharp paring knife.

Roll the pork tenderloin into a log tightly. Secure with toothpicks at 5-6 spots or tie with butcher’s twine.

Step 9

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil (can use 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp butter) in a cast iron skillet or any oven safe pan at medium-high heat.

Step 10

Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet, secured side down.

Step 11

Cook for 2 minutes per side for all 4 sides. then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for additional 20 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the middle reads 145 F -150 F.

Let the stuffed pork tenderloin rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before you cut it.
