Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Report
Pork tenderloin is wrapped in bacon, coated with an easy but delicious garlic brown sugar sauce then roasted to perfection, with bacon that's crispy on the outside and juicy pork tenderloin on the inside!

Ingredients
- one pound hickory smoked bacon (should be 14-16 slices in the pound)
- one pound pork tenderloin (the larger the better)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Brown Sugar Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Slightly precook the bacon by placing onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a baking rack. If you don't have a baking rack then precook on the pan.
- Bake until the bacon has rendered some of its fat but is still soft and malleable enough to wrap around the tenderloin around 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels then discard the towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper and the 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, coating the tenderloin.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron or oven safe skillet.
- Place the tenderloin into the skillet and saute until browned on all sides. Remove and place on a cutting board to cool.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder and cayenne.
- Coat the tenderloin with half of the mixture.
- Starting at one end, wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin, overlapping them slightly so that when they shrink more in the oven the tenderloin will still be covered.
- Place the tenderloin back into the cast iron pan and coat the top of the bacon with the remaining sauce mixture.
- Roast in the preheated oven until 145°F at the thickest part of the tenderloin, around 25 minutes. Baste the top with the drippings in the pan occasionally while roasting.
- Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1-inch-thick rounds and serve.
Notes
- Seasoning then browning the pork tenderloin before wrapping it in bacon adds flavor to what can be a plain tenderloin under the bacon layer.
