Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons honey (or a sugar-free syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon fine salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pork tenderloin ((1¼ pound) )
- 6 bacon strips
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil. Fit it with a roasting rack and spray the rack with olive oil spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the honey and Dijon mustard. Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Set aside.
- Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder all over the pork.
- Wrap the tenderloin with the bacon strips, wrapping each bacon slice crosswise around a section of the pork and securing the end by tucking it underneath. It will feel a bit loose at this point, but will all meld together while roasting.
- Place the wrapped pork on the prepared roasting rack. Brush the top and sides with half of the honey-Dijon sauce.
- Place the meat in the hot oven and roast it until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F (medium), about 40 minutes. Loosely cover it with foil after the first 15-20 minutes, to prevent the bacon from burning.
- Remove the tenderloin from the oven. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Brush it with the remaining portion of honey-Dijon sauce, slice, and serve.
