Equipment

  • weighing scales
  • Cutting board
  • Kitchen knife
  • measuring spoon
  • oven proof tray

Ingredients

  • 450 g pork fillet
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 200 g smoked streaky bacon (6-7 rashers)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves only)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180CFan/390F.
  • Prepare the pork fillet by removing any fat and sinew. Leave the fillet whole and season with pepper (do not add salt as the smoked bacon will add salt to the dish).
  • Lay the streaky bacon flat out on a board with the edges touching lengthways. 
  • Remove the leaves from the sprigs of thyme and mix with the olive oil in a pestle and mortar, bruising the thyme leaves to release their oil. Rub this oily mixture over the entire pork fillet then place the fillet directly onto the bacon slices.
  • Wrap the bacon around the pork fillet to ensure that the pork is covered, leaving no gaps.
  • Place the bacon wrapped fillet on a baking tray and cook in the pre-heated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches between 63C/145F (medium rare) and 70C/160F (medium). Note that cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the pork fillet.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
