Pork Tenderloin

Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 35 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 8 bacon slices

• 32 oz (907 g) pork tenderloin

• 1 tsp dried oregano, crushed

• 1 tsp dried basil, crushed

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp seasoned salt

• 3 tbsp butter

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon slices and cook for approximately 6 to 7 minutes until partially cooked but still pliable.

3. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

4. Wrap the pork tenderloin with the cooked bacon slices, spacing them evenly. Secure each slice with a toothpick.

5. Using a sharp knife, slice the tenderloin between each bacon strip to create individual medallions.

6. In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and seasoned salt.

7. Generously coat each pork medallion with the herb mixture.

8. Wipe out the skillet used for the bacon with a paper towel.

9. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Place the pork medallions in the skillet and sear for about 4 minutes per side until browned.

10. Transfer the skillet directly into the preheated oven.

11. Roast for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the pork reaches your desired level of doneness.

12. Remove the skillet from the oven carefully. Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes before serving.
