Ingredients
- ¾ teaspoon salt , see note 1
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons onion flakes , see note 2
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme , see note 3
- 1 pound pork tenderloin (450 grams), see note 4
- 10-12 slices bacon , see note 5
Other:
- toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180° Celsius).
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Combine together the seasoning (salt, pepper, onion flakes, paprika and thyme – you can do this on the parchment paper or in a small bowl). Spread the seasoning evenly across the parchment paper and roll pork tenderloin in, making sure it is evenly coated. Place the tenderloin on a plate and set aside.
- Arrange bacon slices next to each other on the baking parchment, making sure, they are slightly overlapping. Place the tenderloin on top (in the middle).
- Now, lift a slice on both ends and wrap towards the center and secure on top (see photos). Repeat until the whole tenderloin is wrapped and secured with toothpicks.
- Transfer the tenderloin in the oven and bake until its internal temperature reaches 145° Fahrenheit (64° Celsius), 25-35 minutes (see note 7).
- Take it out from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing (and removing toothpicks).
- Serve with any side you like.
Notes
- If you feel that your bacon is very salty or if you are trying to keep sodium intake low, you can reduce the salt to ½ teaspoon.
- Garlic or onion powder are good substitutions.
- Thyme can be substituted with oregano or marjoram.
- If your tenderloin has the membrane on, please remove it with a sharp knife. You can use a slightly larger tenderloin as well. The seasoning should be enough for up to 1.2-pounds.
- The number of bacon slices may vary. This will depend on their size so I suggest buying more rather than less. Mine were about 1.5-inch (4-centimeters) wide.
- The seasoning is plenty for a 1-1.2-pound tenderloin (450-540 grams).
- Cooking time will vary. This will depend on your oven as well as the thickness of the tenderloin. It can vary between 25-35 minutes. For the best result, I highly recommend using a food thermometer. Once the temperature reaches 145 Fahrenheit (64 Celsius) you can take it out.
