How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallions With Electric Chimichurri Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of chimichurri sauce (see recipe below), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the pork medallions to the bowl and toss to coat completely. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- While the pork marinates, prepare the chimichurri sauce (double the recipe).
- Wrap each pork medallion with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the bacon-wrapped medallions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the pork is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the bacon-wrapped pork medallions with the remaining chimichurri sauce on the side.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
