Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
  • 8-10 slices of bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Pork: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season it generously with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Wrap in Bacon: Lay the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin at one end and roll it up tightly in the bacon slices, tucking in the ends as you go.
  4. Sear the Tenderloin: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped tenderloin and sear on all sides until the bacon is crispy and browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
