METHOD
Why It Works
Wrapping the tenderloin in bacon bastes it as it roasts, keeping the lean cut juicy. A brown sugar glaze caramelizes the bacon into a sweet-savory crust.
Quick Fixes
Bacon not crisp: broil 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
Tenderloin dry: pull at 145°F and rest.

Avo's Tip
Wrap the bacon snugly and tuck the ends under so it stays put while roasting.
