How to Make Bacon Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Prepare an oven-safe skillet or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Prepare the pork
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin to ensure even cooking and a tender result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Make the seasoning mix
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended to create a flavorful rub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Season the pork
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire tenderloin, ensuring it\u2019s fully coated for maximum flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Wrap with bacon
Carefully wrap the bacon slices around the pork tenderloin, slightly overlapping each piece. Secure the ends with toothpicks if needed to keep the bacon in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Sear the pork
Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the bacon-wrapped pork in the pan and sear it on all sides for 5\u20137 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Bake to perfection
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20\u201325 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145\u00b0F (63\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 8: Rest and serve
Remove from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Slice into thick medallions and serve warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chef\u2019s Tip
For an extra layer of flavor, brush the tenderloin with a light glaze of maple syrup or honey before baking. It adds a subtle sweetness that complements the smoky bacon beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
