Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins about 1 pound each
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound of bacon not thick cut bacon
- A few fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the pork tenderloins completely dry with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, combine garlic, brown sugar, rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil to form a paste. Rub the paste evenly over the tenderloins and place them in a roasting pan.
- Wrap the bacon around the tenderloin, starting from the bottom and covering the top, without wrapping underneath, only if you desire so. Tuck the sides of the bacon under the tenderloin and arrange rosemary sprigs around it.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
Notes
- Look for pork tenderloins with even marbling and a nice pink-red color.
- Place your baking dish in the center rack to help the bacon brown evenly.
- Use a pair of tongs and a sharp knife to slice the tenderloin into coins.
