Ingredients:
– 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
– 6 slices of bacon
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions:

2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
3. Wrap each pork tenderloin with bacon slices, ensuring they are well covered.
4. Place the wrapped tenderloin in a baking dish and pour the marinade over the top, allowing it to soak in for about 15 minutes.
