Keto Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp animal fat: tallow, duck fat, goose fat - whatever you prefer!
- 500 g (17 oz) pork tenderloin fillet
- 200 g (7 oz) bacon (streaky)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Filling
- 150 g (5 oz) cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 30 g (1 oz) sundried tomatoes in oil chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh sage finely chopped
Cream Sauce
- 2 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 2 scallions chopped
- 250 g (9 oz) cabbage shredded
- 175 ml (3/4 cup) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
-
For the filling, mix the cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and sage in a small bowl
-
Season the tenderloin with salt and pepper all around then cut it lengthwise to make a pocket for the filling
-
Spoon half of the filling into the pocket and close it by bringing the two sides together.
-
Wrap the bacon slices around the tenderloin to seal the filling inside
-
Fry the tenderloin gently in the animal fat until golden on all sides
-
Keep the frying pan with the juices for the sauce
-
Bake the tenderloin in an ovenproof dish at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temp of 65oC is reached
-
I would recommend checking with a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the meat
-
Remove from the oven and leave to rest wrapped in foil
-
Finely shred the cabbage and scallion, add the butter to the pan with the juices from the pork
-
Saute for 6-8 mins until the cabbage is softened
-
Add the cream and the rest of the filling.
-
Simmer for a few minutes then season with salt and pepper
-
Slice the tenderloin diagonally and serve with the sauce and veggies of your choice
