🧂 Ingredients

½ pork tenderloin
5 strips good quality bacon
½ cup barbecue sauce
2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1 Lay a 12-inch piece of plastic wrap on your cutting board.
2 Place the bacon on the plastic wrap, overlapping the pieces.
3 Place the pork tenderloin on the bacon and wrap using plastic wrap to lift the
bacon. Grap the end of the wrap and twist to tighten. Let sit for 10 minutes or
put in the fridge for up to 2 days.
4 Heat your oven to 375°f.
5 Put a pan on the stove on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot add the
vegetable oil. Take the pork out of the plastic wrap and place in the hot pan
with the ends of the bacon down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bacon is
browned. Then repeat on all sides.
6 Take the bacon out of the pan, and put it in a small roasting pan. Brush with
half of the barbecue sauce and put in the oven for 12 minutes.
7 Take the pork out of the oven, flip, and brush with the remaining sauce. Return
the pork to the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes or until it is cooked.
8 Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice on a slight bias and serve.
