Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Other Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  (1-lb.) pork tenderloin
  • 1  teaspoon  steak seasoning
  • 3  bacon slices, cut in half crosswise

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Remove silver skin from pork tenderloin, leaving a thin layer of fat covering the pork. Sprinkle seasoning over pork. Wrap pork with bacon slices, and secure with wooden picks. Place pork on a lightly greased wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan.

2. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 155°. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil 5 inches from heat 3 to 5 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Remove from oven; cover pork with foil, and let stand 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 160°.

Great pork dish for a weekday meal! I actually mixed the steak seasoning with a little olive oil and rubbed it on the dry pork loin, then wrapped in bacon. It was a little dry. I cooked it at 400 for 25 minutes but in the future I will cook at 400 for 20 minutes then do the 5 minute broil. Again, great tasting and quick to make!11/10/09

My first time with pork tenderloin, this recipe was FABULOUS! So fast, so easy, moist, tender, delicious! Cooked it like it said to, (even had the same steak seasoning!) but I used turkey bacon. Served it with mashed poatoes from Costco. Will definately do this again!11/09/09
