Introducing my Bacon Wrapped Pork Roast!
First, you will need: 1 pork roast (This one says “ribeye
roast.”) Preheat your oven to
Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meat on all sides like this (takes about 8-10 min overall):
Remove from heat. Rub on some seasoning. (Careful! It's hot) In this case: a
little thyme (fresh if you have it), some Cajun seasoning (like: Slap Ya Mama or
Tony Cachere’s), fresh ground black pepper.

| No salt: You use Cachere’s like salt. |
Time for some BACON!!!! I used thick-sliced, peppered bacon.
Wrap that baby in bacon. Leave no roast showing! You don’t want
him to feel naked do you? Good, I didn’t think
so…. Secure
the bacon with twine.
Place the wrapped roast in a roasting pan on a bed of onion slices.
Then, pop into the oven, uncovered. Bake
until the inside reaches 145°F on your
meat thermometer. Took mine about 45 min.

Never said I was a twine tying expert, did I ?

Ta-da! Now, you can remove from the pan to rest. And use the
dripping to make a sauce. Add about 1
cup of white wine to pan to deglaze. You can use stock if you prefer not to use
alcohol.
The finish product served with homemade mashed potatoes.
