  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 8 to 10 slices of streaky bacon (long enough to wrap around the pork 1 1/2 times)

– 1 lb (500g) pork tenderloin, at room temperature

– Salt and pepper for seasoning

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (honey preferred for thickness)

Instructions

1-Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F) or 180Β°C fan to get things started on the right note.

2-Arrange the bacon strips: Once your oven is ready, you’ll arrange the bacon strips vertically on a board, slightly overlapping them to match the length of the pork.

3-Season the pork tenderloin: Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, and tuck the thin end under for even cooking.

4-Sear the pork: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat, then sear the pork on all sides until it’s nicely browned this step ensures even cooking and prevents the centers from overcooking.

5-Let the pork cool slightly: After searing, let the pork cool slightly before placing it on the bacon strips at the end nearest you.

6-Roll the pork: Use a knife to lift the bacon and roll the pork, making sure the seam faces down for a neat wrap.

7-Transfer and glaze: Transfer the wrapped pork back to the skillet and drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over it, brushing to spread evenly for that sticky, flavorful glaze.

8-Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, basting with pan juices at the 20-minute mark to deepen the color and enhance juiciness.

9-Rest and serve: Finally, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes; baste again before slicing and serving with the remaining pan juices.
