  • Wrap the Beef Tenderloin with Bacon: Wrap the beef tenderloin tightly with bacon strips, slightly overlapping them to secure the bacon in place.
  • Season the Wrapped Tenderloin: Generously season the wrapped tenderloin with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a flavorful crust.
  • Sear the Beef Tenderloin: Sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloin in a hot skillet to caramelize the bacon and create a golden-brown crust.
