Servings: 4

Ingredients

Pork:

  • 1 to 1 1/4 lb pork tenderloin
  • 8-10 slices bacon
  • Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 tsp salt and 12/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

Glaze:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F/(200 C).
  • Lay the bacon on a cutting board or the kitchen counter, slightly overlapping, making sure the length is similar to the length of the pork tenderloin.
  • Season pork tenderloin with salt, pepper and paprika.
  • On the side, where the fillet is thinner, tuck the thin end under, so the piece of meat has the same thickness.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a skillet on the stove top over medium-high heat and cook the pork tenderloin for 4 minutes on both sides.
  • Place the meat on the bacon and roll so the bacon wraps around the meat.
  • Place on a baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil, make sure the side where bacon overlaps is down.
  • In a bowl mix together the olive oil, honey and balsamic vinegar.
  • Brush the mixture over the bacon.
  • Bake the bacon wrapper pork tenderloin for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat is 150F (65 C).
  • Rest the meat for 5-10 minutes. Cut and serve.
