This recipe for pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon is a variation of a recipe my mother used to make with my own spin on the seasonings. It's also one of our favorites to enjoy around the holidays!
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
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees 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, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain any excess bacon grease from the skillet.
-
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
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, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Kefir Yogurt (Sana)
This recipe is my variation of one that came with my yogurt maker. It's easy to create Greek yogurt from this, too! Simply strain the yogurt in a colander lined with fine cheesecloth or coffee filters. Using kefir at the start creates a much more tart yogurt; it tastes a lot like sana from Europe. You can substitute plain yogurt with live active cultures for the kefir, if desired. Save 1/2 cup of yogurt to use as a starter, if desired. Eat yogurt within one week.
