Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with some olive oil.
- Place the pork loin on a cutting board so the longer sides are on your left and right. Using a large, sharp knife, measure about 1/3 of the thickness of the loin and slice from right to left, cutting almost all of the way through the meat—leaving only a hinge so that the meat will stay together. You should be able to open it like a book.
- Pull open the pork loin. Now, the 1/3-thick part is on your left, and the right side is thicker. Starting from the center, slice down the length, 1/3 thick from left to right, so you can flip open the other side.
- To achieve even thickness, lightly pound the pork with a mallet.
- Add olive oil and distribute it evenly all over the surface.
- Season the butterflied pork with salt, freshly ground pepper, and marjoram.
- Add minced garlic and use your hands to distribute it all over the surface.
- Arrange six pieces of thick-cut bacon slices onto the pork.
- Roll it tightly into a log.
- Use the remaining bacon to wrap it around the pork, each slice slightly onto the other.
- You can use kitchen twine to tie it together if needed.
- You can place it on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees F.
- While baking, baste the top with the juices from the baking dish to ensure the bacon cooks nicely.
- Broil at the end for a few minutes, careful not to burn it.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
