Step by step instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, steak seasoning, and garlic.
    • Quick Tip: I like to use my homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning. It’s a combination of coarse salt, black and red pepper, minced garlic, onions and paprika. It really adds delicious flavor to the pork!
  • Rub this mixture on a 3-4 pound boneless pork loin. Wrap 6-8 slices of bacon around the pork. Cover the pork with foil and place in a 400°F preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil from over the pork and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the pork is at least 145°F before removing the pork from the oven.
    • Note: The foil is used to cover the pork during the first half of the roasting time so that the bacon does not burn. The foil does not need to be tightly wrapped around the pork, a simple tenting of the foil over the pork will work just fine. Removing the foil for the last 20 minutes of roasting will result in crispy bacon, on top of juicy pork!

What is the difference between pork loin and pork tenderloin?

Pork loin and pork tenderloin are two different cuts of meat from different parts of the animal. Pork tenderloins are small and thin, usually weighing in at about 1 pound. A pork loin is thick and typically weighs in between 3-5 pounds.

A pork tenderloin is boneless, where as a pork loin can be found bone-in or boneless.

How do you keep it from drying out?

Wrapping the pork loin in bacon means the bacon fat will drip into the pork loin. This will keep the pork moist throughout the cooking process.

How much pork do you need per person?

You should plan to have a 1/2 pound of pork per person. If serving this pork to 6 people, a 3 pound pork loin is perfect. If serving this pork to 8 people, a 4 pound pork loin is perfect.

Depending on the size of the pork and the size of the bacon slices you’re using, you’ll need 6-8 strips of bacon to cover the pork.
