Asian Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

With Asian Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Asian Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 pork tenderloin (or 2 small ones)
  • Bacon strips (enough to wrap the tenderloin fully)

👨🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Soy sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Rice wine vinegar
  • Asian Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

2. Marinate the Pork

  • Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with additional Asian Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt.
  • Place the pork into a 1-gallon Ziploc bag.
  • Pour in the marinade, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Wrap in Bacon

  • Remove the pork from the marinade (reserve the marinade).
  • Wrap the pork tenderloin with bacon slices, securing ends underneath or with toothpicks if needed.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin in a baking dish.
  • Pour the reserved marinade over the top.
  • Marinate another hour if time allows.

4. Cook the Tenderloin

  • Bake or grill at 350°F (175°C) until the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F (60–63°C) (about 25–35 minutes depending on thickness).
  • If grilling, sear bacon side briefly over direct heat, then move to indirect heat to finish.

5. Prepare the Sauce (Optional but Recommended)

  • While pork is cooking, boil the reserved marinade in a small saucepan for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Use this as a sauce for drizzling when serving.

6. Rest and Slice

  • Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch medallions.
  • Drizzle with sauce and serve.

  • Jasmine rice or coconut rice

About the Chef

Hi there! I’m Sheila Washam — passionate cook, devoted wife, proud mom of four, and grandma to four precious grandbabies. I’m the second of five siblings, and from an early age, I found my happy place in the kitchen. For nearly 30 years, I’ve poured my heart into cooking for family, friends, church events, and anyone who needs a little comfort food in their life.

I love gardening, raising chickens, canning, and all things homesteading. You’ll often find me snapping photos of whatever’s bubbling on the stove or coming fresh out of the oven — and yes, I’m unapologetically that person who shares food pics on Facebook and Instagram.

In 2009, I studied Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Nashville. While I loved every second of learning and experimenting, I realized that the intense hours of a professional chef didn’t align with raising a family. Instead, I took those skills and let them bloom at home — creating new dishes, testing bold flavor combinations, and feeding both bellies and souls.

Over the years, I’ve catered events (just for fun!), gifted homemade meals, and organized church dinners. Cooking isn’t just a skill for me — it’s how I connect, give, and celebrate life. I’m currently writing a cookbook filled with recipes and stories from my kitchen, and while many have urged me to open a restaurant, I haven’t taken that leap just yet. Never say never, though — they’re still trying!

My husband, Jason, is my partner in life and in the kitchen. We love experimenting together, especially drawing inspiration from our travels and the incredible flavors we’ve discovered around the world. He’s also the genius behind our soon-to-be-released Grilling Glazes — and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Whether you're here for recipes, homesteading tips, or just to follow the food journey — welcome to my kitchen. Let’s cook something delicious together!
