Serves:

Preparation Time:
20 mins
Cooking Time:
30 mins
Ingredients:
- 1 x 500g pork fillet, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8-10 slices streaky bacon (see tip)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons seeded mustard
- Steamed green beans and snow peas, to serve
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
- Pat pork dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add pork and brown, turning occasionally, until evenly golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Lay bacon vertically on a clean work surface, slightly overlapping each slice. Place pork onto the bacon at one end. Wrap bacon over the pork to enclose it and form a neat roll. Gently squeeze to secure the bacon and secure with toothpicks along the base. Place pork onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Combine maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Brush bacon with mixture.
- Roast, brushing with the pan juices once or twice, for 20-25 minutes for just pink pork (tested with a meat thermometer at 65°C).
- Slice pork. Drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with beans and snow peas.
