Essential Ingredients for Carnivore Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin

• Beef Tenderloin: The star of the show! Opt for well-marbled beef for maximum flavor.
• Bacon: Choose bacon without added sugars to keep things pure and simple.
• Salt: Coarse salt enhances flavors and is a carnivore kitchen must-have.
• Butter: Unsalted, preferably grass-fed, to add richness.

How to Prepare Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin

Step 1: Preheat & Season

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the tenderloin dry and generously season it with coarse salt, prepping it like it’s about to check into a five-star meat resort.

Step 2: Wrap with Bacon

Lay out overlapping strips of bacon to form a sheet. Place the tenderloin at one end and roll it up, ensuring it’s fully wrapped. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.

Step 3: Sear to Lock in Flavor

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter until it browns slightly. Sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on all sides for a crispy, golden finish before roasting.

Step 4: Roast to Perfection

Transfer the seared tenderloin to the oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare doneness; adjust time for preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer—130°F (54°C) signals perfect pink meat.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

Remove the tenderloin from the oven, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Then slice and savor every flavorful bite.

Pro Tips for the Best Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin

• Select Quality Cuts: Premium beef tenderloin and thick-cut bacon make all the difference.
• Don’t Skip Searing: This step crisps the bacon and seals in juiciness.

Serving Suggestions
