Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Wrap the bacon slices around the pork tenderloin, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped pork on all sides until the bacon is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Brush the maple glaze over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with any remaining glaze drizzled on top.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze. If you prefer a smokier flavor, use smoked bacon instead of regular bacon. You can also experiment with different types of mustard, such as whole grain or spicy brown, to alter the flavor profile. For a touch of freshness, garnish the dish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.
