Ingredients
 

  • 1 pork tenderloin approx 1 lb.
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 3 Tbs. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs. vegetable or canola oil
  • 6-8 slices center-cut bacon
  • 3 large red potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 lb. frozen cut green beans

Instructions
 

  • Remove the pork tenderloin from refrigeration and unpackage. Let the pork tenderloin rest, uncovered, on the counter for 30-60 minutes to allow some of the chill to escape the meat before cooking it.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, and brown sugar.
  • Pat the tenderloin dry with a paper towel; season the pork with the prepared seasoning blend, pressing it into the meat with your fingertips. Wrap the bacon pieces around the pork tenderloin, overlapping at the ends to secure the bacon.
  • Heat a swish of oil in a 12-inch heavy-duty skillet over medium high heat; when the oil is hot, use a pair of tongs to place the pork tenderloin into the skillet. Sear the bacon on all sides until crispy and golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Surround the tenderloin with with the cubed potatoes, then place the skillet into the oven on the center oven rack, uncovered.
  • Roast the pork and vegetables for 30-35 minutes, or the internal temperature of the pork reaches 140 degrees F. at the center and the potatoes are are fork-tender. Stir the green beans into the potatoes during the last 10-15 minutes of the cooking time.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and cover the pork, allowing it to rest for about 10 minutes. To serve, slice the tenderloin into medallions along with roasted potatoes and green beans on the side.
