INGREDIENTS

  • Spices

    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Meat

    • 🥓 8 slices bacon
    • 2 pounds pork tenderloin

  • Fats & Oils

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl.

2

Cook bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and still flexible, about 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain any excess bacon grease from the skillet.

3

Wrap four slices of bacon around each tenderloin, securing each strip with 1 to 2 toothpicks. Slice tenderloins between each bacon strip to create a total of eight medallions. Dip medallions into seasoning mix on both sides.

4

Melt butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add medallions and cook for 4 minutes on each side.

5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the center.
