Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head garlic, top sliced off
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 1/2 pound each) trimmed of excess fat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
12 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
12 (1/4-inch thick) slices bacon

Steps:

  • Arrange tenderloins on work surface. Rub the top each tenderloin with 1/2 of the roasted garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the herbs and scatter half of the mix over the garlic on each tenderloin. Wrap 6 strips of bacon around each tenderloin and tie bacon in place with kitchen twine.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a medium, skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until golden brown on all sides.

Remove twine before carving.
