½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
Instructions

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork.
Sear the Pork:
Heat avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.nyssa’s kitchen
Sear the seasoned pork tenderloin on all sides until lightly browned.nyssa’s kitchen
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Wrap with Bacon:
Lay the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping, to match the length of the pork tenderloin.nyssa’s kitchen
Place the seared pork on top of the bacon.
Wrap the bacon around the pork, securing the ends underneath.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard and coconut aminos.nyssa’s kitchen+1Maebells+1
Cook the Pork:
Place the bacon-wrapped pork back into the skillet, seam side down.
Brush the top with the mustard and coconut aminos glaze.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
Rest and Serve:
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes.
This allows the temperature to rise to the safe 145°F (63°C) and the juices to redistribute.
Slice the pork and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Use thin-cut bacon so it cooks fully and crisps up nicely.
Let the meat rest after cooking so the juices don’t run out when you slice it.
You can swap the coconut aminos with gluten-free tamari or just leave it out if you don’t have it.
Works great for meal prep—slice and store for up to 4 days in the fridge.
