Bacon-Wrapped Pork Medallions pair juicy tenderloin with smoky, crisp-edged bacon for a rich, savory bite in every piece. Garlic, basil, oregano, and seasoned salt add a fragrant crust, while a quick sear and oven finish keep the meat tender. Serve for a special weeknight dinner or when entertaining guests who love bold, hearty flavors.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix the garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl.
2

Cook the bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but still pliable, 6 to 7 minutes. Move the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Pour off any extra bacon grease from the skillet.
3

Wrap four slices of bacon around each tenderloin, securing each strip with 1 to 2 toothpicks. Cut the tenderloins between each bacon strip to make a total of eight medallions. Press the medallions into the seasoning mix on both sides.
4

Melt the butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the medallions and cook for 4 minutes per side.
5

Move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
