Description
Easy roasted bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin drizzled with maple syrup and bourbon for extra sweetness. Juicy, tender, and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1.25 pound pork tenderloin roast
- 6–8 slices regular or thick-cut bacon
- 2–3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon bourbon, optionally mixed with maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Season tenderloin liberally with salt and pepper.
- Align 6-8 slightly overlapping slices of bacon flat on a cutting board with the tenderloin on top at one end. Grasp the bacon and roll tenderloin forward.
- Transfer to a skillet or high-rimmed baking dish with bacon seam facing down. Drizzle top with a mixture of bourbon and maple syrup (or just maple syrup).
- Roast for 25-30 minutes or until internal temp in the center of the thickest part reaches 145° F. I like to baste the tenderloin with the pan drippings about halfway through roasting. Remove from the oven, baste one final time, and set on a cutting board and let rest uncovered for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1 inch thick slices and serve.
