A quick and easy bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin stuffed with a flavorful garlic-sage filling, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole pork tenderloin, about 1 to 1.5 pounds (450–680 g), trimmed of silver skin
  • 6–8 thin-cut bacon slices
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (30 g) breadcrumbs, preferably panko
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing horizontally through the middle, stopping about ½ inch from the edge, then open it like a book to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh sage, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, softened butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until a spreadable paste forms. Add a splash of olive oil if too dry.
  3. Spread the garlic-sage filling evenly over the opened tenderloin, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Roll the tenderloin tightly from the long edge and secure with kitchen twine every 1 to 1.5 inches or use toothpicks.
  5. Lay bacon slices overlapping on a clean surface and place the rolled pork on top. Wrap the bacon around the tenderloin, tucking ends underneath, securing with twine or toothpicks if needed.
  6. Brush the bacon-wrapped tenderloin with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until the bacon crisps and browns, about 2 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Rest the tenderloin for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches 145°F for perfect doneness. For gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour. Broil for last 2 minutes if bacon needs crisping. Let the tenderloin rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
