Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin Roast With Jalapeno Barbecue Sauce

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450F. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to plate and cool for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Wrap bacon slices vertically around pork roast; do not overlap bacon. Tie lengthwise and crosswise with kitchen string to hold bacon in place; tuck loose ends of bacon under string. Place on a rack in a roasting pan, tucked-bacon side down.

4. 4

   Roast on rack for 15 minutes. Turn pork over and reduce temperature to 350F and roast for 15 minutes. Remove rack and return pork to pan, tucked-end side up. Roast, turning occasionally until bacon is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast reads 145F, about 50 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Skim fat from pan juices, leaving browned juices in pan.

6. 6

   Add barbecue sauce and jalapenos and bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring to loosen browned bits in pan; simmer 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove strings, carve pork, and serve with sauce.
