- 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp. Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp. Liquid Smoke

- Mix together 2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard, 2 Tbsp. Torani Sugar Free Maple Syrup, 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce, 1 tsp. Minced Garlic, 1 tsp. Liquid Smoke, 1 tsp. Dried Rosemary, 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper, 1/4 tsp. Cayenne, and 1/4 tsp. Dried Sage.
- Get your pork tenderloins out and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Add the pork tenderloins to a Ziploc bag.
- Pour your marinade into the Ziploc bag and spread the marinade onto the tenderloins. Make sure every inch of tenderloin gets some of the marinade. Put this in the fridge for 3-5 hours.
- Remove your pork tenderloins from the fridge once finished and preheat your oven to 350F.
- On a foiled baking sheet, wrap your tenderloins in bacon. For me, this was about 5 slices per tenderloin.
- Bake the tenderloins for 60 minutes, and then broil the bacon on the outside for 5-10 minutes. Be careful that the bacon doesn’t burn.
- Wrap the tenderloins in the foil on the baking sheet and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Slice and serve!
