This is the ultimate center-piece meal. Pork tenderloin is naturally lean and mild, making it the perfect “blanket” for a salty, smoky bacon stuffing. The Golden Honey Glaze creates a sticky, lacquered finish that balances the savory interior.
Because tenderloin is smaller than a loin, we use a “butterfly” technique to create maximum surface area for the stuffing.
