Rubbed with garlic, rosemary, and allspice, this bacon-wrapped roast is rich with holiday flavor. The impressive but quick-cooking recipe can easily be halved to serve a smaller crowd.

Provided by Rhoda Boone

Categories     Pork Tenderloin     Christmas     Garlic     Dinner     Spice     Cranberry     Cranberry Sauce     Rosemary     Bacon

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
3 tablespoons rosemary leaves, plus 6 sprigs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 large pork tenderloins (about 3 pounds)
12 ounces thin-sliced bacon (about 12 slices)
Cranberry sauce (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Pulse garlic, pepper, allspice, salt, brown sugar, 3 Tbsp. rosemary leaves, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a food processor until a paste forms. Alternatively, finely chop garlic and 3 Tbsp. rosemary leaves and transfer to a small bowl; stir in pepper, allspice, salt, brown sugar, and 2 Tbsp. oil.
  • Rub garlic paste all over pork. Let sit at least 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to overnight.
  • Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Wrap each tenderloin in bacon, working in a spiral from top to bottom and letting each layer overlap slightly, until completely covered (about 5 bacon slices per tenderloin). Secure any exposed bacon slice ends with toothpicks.
  • Arrange 6 rosemary sprigs on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pork over. Brush tops of tenderloins with oil. Roast pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F for medium-rare (about 20 minutes) or 145° for medium, (about 25 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with cranberry sauce alongside, if using.
  • Do Ahead

Tips:

  • Choose a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat to feed your guests.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit before you start cooking the pork loin roast.
  • Season the pork loin roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage, if you like.
  • Place the pork loin roast in a roasting pan and add 1 cup of water or broth to the bottom of the pan. This will help to keep the meat moist while it cooks.
  • Roast the pork loin roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork loin roast rest for 10 minutes before carving it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
