How To Make bacon wrapped stuffed pork tender loin

Step 1Trim all the fat of the Pork Loin

Step 2Carefully cut the roast down the center. Filet it best you can. Cover the roast with plastic wrap and pound it out flat with a meat mallet.

Step 4Cut 3 pieces of cotton string. Lay the roast ontop of the string and spread filling on the roast.
