Serving Size: 8
Cooking Time: 65 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 Pounds (lb) boneless pork loin
- 1 Pinch salt, to taste
- 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
- 8 Slices bacon
- 1 Sweet onion, minced
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) honey
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) dry red wine
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh rosemary, minced
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) golden raisins
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a shallow roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper. Wrap the bacon slices around the pork loin, securing them with toothpicks to ensure they stay in place during cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin in the hot skillet until it is golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. This step locks in the juices and adds a beautiful crust. Transfer the pork loin to the prepared roasting pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the minced onion, honey, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and minced rosemary. Mix until well combined, then spread this mixture evenly over the pork loin.
- Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, sprinkle the golden raisins over the top. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork loin reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), approximately 15 more minutes.
- Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
- Carefully remove the toothpicks, slice the pork loin, and serve. Enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors in every bite.
