Ingredients (Serves 8)
- 3 pounds of Pork Loin (not tenderloin)
- 2 tbsp of Olive Oil
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Marjoram
- 16 slices of Bacon (6 thick-cut and the rest longer and thinner)
Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with some olive oil.
- Place the pork loin on a cutting board so the longer sides are on your left and right. Using a large, sharp knife, measure about 1/3 of the thickness of the loin and slice from right to left, cutting almost all of the way through the meat and leaving only a hinge so that the meat will stay together, you should be able to open it like a book.
- Pull open the pork loin, now the 1/3 thick part is on your left, and the right side is thicker. Starting from the center slice down the length, 1/3 thick from left to right, so you can flip open the other side.
- To achieve even thickness lightly pound the pork with a mallet.
- Add olive oil and distribute it evenly all over the surface of the pork.
- Season the butterflied pork with salt, freshly ground pepper, and marjoram.
- Add minced garlic and use your hands to distribute it all over the surface.
- Arrange 6 pieces of thick-cut bacon slices onto the pork.
- Roll the pork tightly into a log.
- Use the remaining bacon to wrap it around the pork, each slice slightly over the other.
- Use kitchen twine to tie it together (if needed).
- Place onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes or until it has reached an internal temperature of 160-165 degrees F.
- While baking, baste the top with the juices from the baking dish, to make sure the bacon cooks nicely.
- Broil at the end for a few minutes, careful not to burn it.
- Top with parsley and serve while hot.
