Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 6 min. Transfer to plate, cool for 10 min. Wrap bacon slices around roast; do not overlap bacon. Tie lengthwise and crosswise with kitchen string to hold bacon in place; tuck bacon ends under string. Place on rack in roasting pan, tucked-end side down. Roast 15 min. Turn pork over, reduce temperature to 350F; roast 15 min. Remove rack and return pork to pan, tucked-end side up. Roast turning occasionally for about 50 min., until bacon is browned and thermometer inserted in center of roast reads 145F. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 min.

Skim fat from pan juices, leave browned juices in pan. Add barbecue sauce and your preferred ingredient (see simple sauces*). Simmer over medium heat, stirring to loosen browned bits in pan; simmer 2 min.

Remove strings, carve pork and serve with sauce.
