Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Pork Medallions with Herbs.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a small bowl and combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, dried basil, and dried oregano to whip up a delightful seasoning blend that will elevate your dish.
Step 3
Next, take a large, oven-safe skillet and place it over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the bacon and let it sizzle for about 6 to 7 minutes, turning it occasionally until it’s lightly browned yet still flexible.
Step 5
Once it’s done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess grease, and carefully pour out the remaining bacon grease from the skillet—this will keep your dish from becoming too greasy.
Step 6
Now, take your pork tenderloin and wrap four slices of that crispy bacon around each piece, securing them with 1 to 2 toothpicks.
Step 7
For a fun twist, slice the wrapped tenderloins between each bacon strip to create eight charming medallions.
Step 8
Dip each medallion into your seasoning mix, coating both sides generously for maximum flavor.
Step 9
Return to your skillet and melt a combination of butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Once it’s sizzling, gently place the bacon-wrapped medallions in the skillet and let them cook for about 4 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully browned.
Step 11
After achieving that perfect golden color, transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and let it bake for 17 to 20 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know it’s ready when the pork is no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the center.
Step 13
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare to savor this delicious dish!.
