Sweet-Smoky Bacon Pork Tenderloin
This tenderloin does the “special occasion” thing without demanding a special occasion. Sweet-smoky garlic rub, bacon and roasted sweet potatoes share one pan, while a bourbon-balsamic drizzle brings enough depth to make leftovers impossible to ignore.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 400°F. Rub tenderloin with Ellbee's Bacon Organic Olive Oil, Ellbee's Sweet & Smoky Gourmet Garlic, salt and pepper. Wrap bacon around it, overlapping the slices slightly, and set in a roasting pan.
- Toss sweet potatoes with a little oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Scatter around the tenderloin and roast until potatoes are browned and pork reaches 145°F, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer pork to a board to rest 10 minutes. Set the roasting pan over low heat or scrape its juices into a saucepan and stir in Ellbee's Bourbon Balsamic Vinegar.
- Slice tenderloin, spoon pan sauce over the top and serve with roasted sweet potatoes.
Notes
Time: 70 min
Kitchen tip: Tuck the thin tail end of the tenderloin underneath itself before roasting so the whole piece cooks more evenly.
