Bacon-Wrapped Pork Medallions

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 8 slices bacon
• 2 pounds pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 3

   Wrap four slices 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. 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. 5

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