Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds pork tenderloin
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and still flexible, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove any excess bacon grease from the skillet. Combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Wrap the pork tenderloin with the bacon strips securing with 1 or 2 toothpicks per strip of bacon. Slice the tenderloin between each bacon strip to create the medallions. Dip both sides of the medallions in seasoning mix. Melt butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each medallion for 4 minutes on each side.
  • Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 strips bacon (about 13 ounces)
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lay the bacon onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a baking rack. Bake until the bacon has rendered some of its fat but is still completely flexible and hasn't begun to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • Generously sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne. Coat the tenderloin all over with the mixture.
  • Starting at one end, wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin, overlapping them slightly so they are shingled.
  • Place the tenderloin on the baking rack and roast until 130 degrees F at the thickest point, about 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board using a long offset spatula and tongs. Slice into 1-inch-thick rounds and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin medallions cook evenly, flatten them to a uniform thickness using a meat mallet.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor and texture. Thicker-cut bacon works best as it holds up better during cooking.
  • Season the pork medallions generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance their flavor.
  • Wrap the bacon slices around the pork medallions tightly to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
  • Sear the bacon-wrapped pork medallions in a hot skillet until the bacon is crispy and the pork is browned on all sides.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking the pork medallions until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.
  • Allow the pork medallions to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Garnish the pork medallions with fresh herbs, such as parsley or rosemary, for a pop of color and flavor.
