Best Recipe for Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin with Sage and Lemon
Ingredients
- 2 (1 1/2 pound) boneless pork tenderloins
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 6 leaves fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 (1 pound) package bacon
- 3 apples - peeled, cored, and quartered
- 2 lemons, juiced, or more to taste
Instructions
- Season pork tenderloins with salt and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tenderloins in hot oil until browned on each side, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cool.
- Preheat oven to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C).
- Stir juice from 1/2 lemon, sage, and lemon zest together in a bowl until a paste forms; spread paste over each tenderloin.
- Wrap bacon strips around each tenderloin and place in a baking dish. Scatter apples around tenderloins and drizzle juice of 2 lemons over meat and apples.
- Cook pork in the preheated oven until apples are tender and pork is slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
