This Citrus Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Bacon is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The bacon adds a smoky richness to the tender pork, while the citrus glaze provides a zesty and slightly sweet contrast. It's an easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a special dinner or a family meal.
Ingredients: 2 pork tenderloins about 1 lb each. 8 slices of bacon. 1/2 cup orange juice. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon grated orange zest. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Salt and black pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Wrap each pork tenderloin with 4 slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks. Season the pork with salt and black pepper. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, orange zest, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Brush the citrus glaze over the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloins, coating them evenly. Place the tenderloins on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F 63C. Baste with more glaze halfway through cooking. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the Citrus Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Bacon slices, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful meal!
