Chef Shayna's Back Wrapped Pork Tenderloin recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, warm skillet over medium heat, line sheet pan with foil.

2. Remove pork from packaging, blot dry with paper towels.

3. Combine seasoning mix in a small bowl. Season tenderloins on all sides. Tuck tails

under to achieve uniform thickness.

4. Beginning at tail end, secure a strip of bacon to the tender with a toothpick. Wrap

the bacon in an overlapping spiral around the tender. Use additional bacon strips to

repeat this step until the tender is completely wrapped.

5. Film the bottom of the heated skillet with the oil. Place the roasting rack on the

foil-lined sheet pan. Place tenderloins into the skillet seam side down. Cook for two

minutes or until bacon browns. Use tongs to give tenderloins a quarter turn.

Continue this step until the tenders are browned on all sides.

6. Transfer tender to roasting rack and place in the oven. Pour the rendered fat into

a heat proof bowl. Set timer for seven minutes. Test for doneness using a probe

thermometer. Internal temperature should be 145 degrees for medium. Remove

from the oven and tent with foil. Allow the meat to rest for five to ten minutes

before slicing for service.

Enjoy!!
