Ingredients

• 1 (3-pound) package pork tenderloins
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8-10 bacon slices
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
• 1 cup diced, fresh strawberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle pork with basil, pepper, and salt. Wrap 4 to 5 bacon slices around each tenderloin, overlapping the ends of the bacon slices to secure.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven proof skillet. Sear pork in skillet for 2-3 minutes per side. Place skillet in oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add balsamic vinegar and increase heat to medium-high. Bring vinegar to a boil for 5 minutes.
Remove vinegar from heat and stir in preserves and strawberries.
When pork is done cooking, remove from oven and top with balsamic strawberries.
