Recipe Title: Succulent Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds pork tenderloin (1 package of 2 tenderloins), cut into 4 pieces total
- 1 pound bacon
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon wine vinegar or white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 dash pepper
- ¾ cup brown sugar
Directions:
- Wrap the Tenderloin: Begin by wrapping each piece of the pork tenderloin with bacon, ensuring it is covered completely.
- Prepare the Dish: Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloins in an 8 1/2″ x 11″ baking dish. Use a fork to poke holes in the meat, which will allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, minced onion, garlic salt, vinegar, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully mixed.
- Marinate: Pour the marinade over the meat in the dish. Refrigerate the dish, uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 300°F. Bake the marinated pork for 2 to 3 hours. If you notice the bacon burning, loosely cover the dish with foil after about 1 1/2 hours to prevent further charring.
- Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the tenderloins from the oven. Cut the meat into smaller pieces and let them rest in the dish for a few minutes to soak up the excess juices.
