Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Pork Medallions

Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Meanwhile, combine the dried garlic powder, salt substitute, dried basil, and oregano in a small bowl to create the seasoning blend.

Next, cook the thick-cut bacon slices in a large, oven-safe pan over high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and still slightly pliable, approximately 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat.

Then, wrap each of the four tenderloin portions with a strip of bacon, securing it in place with 1 to 2 toothpicks. Cut the tenderloin into smaller medallions, creating a total of eight pieces.

After that, dip each of the tenderloin medallions into the seasoning blend on both sides to coat evenly.

Melt the butter and oil together in the same pan over high heat. Add the tenderloin medallions and cook for 4 minutes on each side.

Finally, transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, approximately 17 to 20 minutes. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork, which should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
