• Center the tenderloin across the bacon and arrange rosemary sprigs over the top.
• Wrap bacon slices around the meat and rosemary, securing with toothpicks if necessary. Try to cover as much of the rosemary as possible so it doesn't burn when roasting.
• Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425ºF.
• Remove meat from fridge and place in oven still wrapped. Roast for 15 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes more or until internal temp reaches 150-155º. Don't overcook it - the temp will rise about 5º-10º more from carry-over cooking after you take it out of the oven. Your goal temp is ~160º. The meat may look faintly pink in the center but it is done if the juices run clear.
• Remove from oven and pour off pan drippings to a small saucepan. Loosely rewrap meat with the foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
