Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Mmm, pork times two. This is a super simple recipe with delicious results.

Ingredients
Pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
4 or 5 slices of bacon
1 tbsp. canola oil

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Cover the entire surface of the tenderloin with Dijon mustard. Don't be skimpy here, make it a thick coating.

Step 2
Wrap the tenderloin in bacon, and secure it in place with kitchen twine.

Step 3
Turn the stove onto medium-high, and heat the oil in a frying pan. Once it's good and hot, sear the tenderloin until browned on all sides.

Step 4
Place the tenderloin on a wire rack (use the same one you cool cookies on), and put in the oven for 20 minutes or so, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 F. Remove from the oven, and place on a cutting board to cool for ten minutes. Remove twine before carving.
