Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat pork tenderloin dry with paper towels, then season evenly with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each slice of bacon around the pork, securing with 2 toothpicks per slice. Place in a baking dish and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes until bacon is crispy and pork reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
  4. Step 4: While pork cooks, melt 3 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in 2 tbsp chopped rosemary and cook for 30 seconds until the butter is golden and aromatic.
