Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin cut into 6 inch pieces
  • 1 lb thick cut bacon
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Minced fresh onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wrap the bacon around the pork tenderloin in a criss-cross pattern.  Use a fork to pierce the tenderloin in several places.  Place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, onion, garlic powder, balsamic vinegar, and salt.  Pour the mixture over the pork.  Refrigerate the pork, uncovered, for at least 3 hours, up to overnight.  Spoon the sauce mixture over the pork every hour or so, if possible.
  3. Heat the oven to 300ºF.  Bake until the center of the pork reaches 145ºF, 1 to 2 hours.  (It is definitely best to have a meat thermometer for this.  That will ensure that your pork is not under or over-cooked.  If the bacon starts to burn, place a piece of foil loosely over the top.  If desired, broil the pork for a minute or two once it is done to crisp up the bacon.
  4. Remove from the pan and let the pork sit for a few minutes before slicing into pieces.  If desired, serve with some of the extra juices from the bottom of the pan.
