Description

Juicy pork tenderloin wrapped in smoky bacon and coated with caramelized brown sugar for the perfect sweet-savory main dish. Elegant yet easy to make for weeknights or special dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1–2 pounds)
  • 812 strips of bacon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. 
  2. Trim silver skin from pork tenderloin and pat dry with paper towels. 
  3. Lay bacon strips overlapping slightly, place tenderloin on top, and wrap tightly. 
  4. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the bacon and press gently to help it stick. 
  5. Place pork on prepared sheet and bake for 25–35 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). 
  6. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into medallions and serving.

Notes

 Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. For extra crispy bacon, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end. Pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
