Pan-Roasted Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon rosemary finely chopped, plus 2 large sprigs
- 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- sea salt
- 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin trimmed
- 4 bacon slices not thick-cut
- 6 scallions thin
- Finely chop three of the garlic cloves. Combine the chopped garlic, rosemary, chives, and oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin. Place on a plate, cover with foil, and refrigerate at least 2 hours (and up to 8).
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0 F.
- Wrap the marinated pork tenderloin with the bacon slices, tucking in the ends of the bacon to hold them in place, overlapping as needed.
- Lightly crush the remaining 3 garlic cloves and remove the peel.
- Heat a large, cast-iron skillet (or other ovenproof pan) over medium-high heat. Place the tenderloin in the pan and scatter the crushed garlic cloves, scallions, and rosemary sprigs around it.
- Sear 5 minutes. Turn the tenderloin over and place the skillet in the oven. Roast until the pork is just cooked through, 25 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Cut the tenderloin into 12 slices and serve.
