Are you looking for a delicious and easy paleo or keto recipe to add to your meal rotation? Look no further than this bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin! This dish is packed with flavor and is sure to satisfy any meat lover.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions for a keto/paleo friendly meal:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. This high temperature will ensure that the bacon gets crispy and the pork cooks through quickly.
- Season the pork tenderloin with rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The combination of these herbs and spices will give the pork a delicious and complex flavor.
- Wrap the bacon slices around the pork tenderloin, securing with toothpicks if necessary. The bacon will not only add a delicious smoky flavor to the pork, but will also keep the meat moist and tender as it cooks.
- Place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with foil. This will make cleanup a breeze and also prevent the bacon fat from making a mess in your oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know the pork is done when the bacon is crispy and the pork is cooked through. To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer and look for an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Once the pork is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and will make for a more flavorful and tender dish.
This dish is perfect for a keto or paleo diet, as it is gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free. It is also low-carb, ketogenic and it’s a great source of protein. You can serve this dish with vegetables or a salad on the side, or you can even shred it and use it as a filling for tacos or sandwiches.
This recipe is a great way to spice up your keto meal routine and is sure to impress any dinner guests. So go ahead, give it a try and enjoy!
