Ingredients

1 head garlic, top sliced off
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 1/2 pound each) trimmed of excess fat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
12 fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
12 (1/4-inch thick) slices bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Place garlic in a small ramekin, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and wrap in foil. Bake until soft, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic flesh from head into a small bowl.

Arrange tenderloins on work surface. Rub the top each tenderloin with 1/2 of the roasted garlic and season with salt and pepper. Mix together the herbs and scatter half of the mix over the garlic on each tenderloin. Wrap 6 strips of bacon around each tenderloin and tie bacon in place with kitchen twine.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat oil in a medium, skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloins until golden brown on all sides. Transfer seared tenderloins to medium roasting pan; place in the oven and cook to medium doneness about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer tenderloins to cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Remove twine before carving.

Best Pork Tenderloin Evah!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We've tried many different recipes for pork tenderloin over the years, but this one is our absolute favorite. Our six year... old exclaimed, "Oh boy! Meat wrapped in more meat!" the last time I made this. You can never go wrong with bacon!Read more

Full of Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm a garlicaholic, so when I saw this recipe with roasted garlic on pork tenderloins, I had to try it. I was not... disappointed and my family enjoyed it as well. I used all the herbs from my garden, and the seared bacon gave it a great smokey flavor. I love the ease of pork tenderloin,and I will be making this recipe again.Read more

Good but Not Great!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was expecting a little more. I have made other Bobby Flay recipes that were amazing, this one not so much. The lemon... sweet potato was too much and I was expecting the herbs and bacon to add more flavor to the port tenderloin.Read more

Delicious and VERY Easy to make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a snap to make and came out very flavorful. I used a large (5lb) pork roast instead of a tenderloin and so it... needed quite a bit more time in the oven (approx 40 minutes). Just use a meat thermometer and you can't go wrong. I need help figuring out how to cook this using convection..... Should I decrease the temp or decrease the time?????Read more

Great Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is easy. We didn't like the sage much so we didn't include it the second time we made it. Make sure when you... sear the bacon on the outside that you sear it as if you were going to eat the bacon before putting it in the oven. We also baked it 15 minutes and it was perfect!Read more
