Impress with this elegant bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin filled with flavorful apples, onions, and herbs. Perfect for any gathering, and ready in less than an hour.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and cut into small dice (about 1 cup)
  • 1/4 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 to 2 thick slices bread (enough to make 1/2 cup coarse breadcrumbs)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 to 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 8 to 10 strips of bacon (about 12 ounces), cut in half
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F and make sure you have a rimmed baking sheet ready.
  • Prepare the stuffing: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté apple, onion, rosemary, and thyme for 7 to 9 minutes until softened. In a food processor, pulse bread slices into coarse crumbs, yielding about 1/2 cup. Remove skillet from heat, then mix in breadcrumbs, mustard, salt, and pepper. Allow to cool briefly.
  • To butterfly the tenderloin, make a deep lengthwise slit down the center, stopping 1/2-inch from the bottom. Open it up like a book, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound to even thickness.
  • Spread the stuffing in a line down the center of the tenderloin and fold the edges together to seal. Secure with toothpicks.
  • Wrap the bacon slices around the tenderloin by laying them out slightly overlapping on a cutting board. Place the tenderloin on top with toothpicks facing up. Remove toothpicks and continue wrapping until you form a log. Put the tenderloin seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Roast the tenderloin in the oven until the meat reaches 145F to 150F and the bacon is brown and crispy. If the bacon needs more browning, broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Allow the tenderloin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with spooned pan juices, if desired. Enjoy the dish and don't forget to rate and comment on the recipe!
