Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Sage

Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Sage

Prep Time: 10 mins, Cook Time: 35 mins, Additional Time: 5 mins.

Total Time: 50 mins, Servings: 4, Yield: 1 pound pork tenderloin

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 bunch fresh sage, leaves removed and stems discarded, divided
• 6 ounces prosciutto
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed

Directions

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Lightly season pork with salt and black pepper. Arrange about 6 sage leaves over tenderloin. Wrap prosciutto around tenderloin and sage, overlapping prosciutto slightly; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to allow prosciutto to set on pork tenderloin, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.

Step: 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry wrapped tenderloin in the hot oil until prosciutto is crispy and lightly browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer wrapped tenderloin to a baking dish, reserving oil in the skillet.

Step: 4

Bake tenderloin in the preheated oven until pork is cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step: 5

Heat reserved oil in the skillet over medium heat; fry remaining sage leaves until crispy, adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes.

Step: 6 

Slice tenderloin and serve with crispy sage leaves.
