Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Lightly season pork with salt and black pepper. Arrange about 6 sage leaves over tenderloin. Wrap prosciutto around tenderloin and sage, overlapping prosciutto slightly; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to allow prosciutto to set on pork tenderloin, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry wrapped tenderloin in the hot oil until prosciutto is crispy and lightly browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer wrapped tenderloin to a baking dish, reserving oil in the skillet.
Step 4
Bake tenderloin in the preheated oven until pork is cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Step 5
Heat reserved oil in the skillet over medium heat; fry remaining sage leaves until crispy, adding more oil as needed, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Slice tenderloin and serve with crispy sage leaves.

To create this delectable dish, a tender pork tenderloin is wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, which adds a salty and savory flavor to the meat and helps to keep it moist and tender as it cooks. The pork is then seared in a hot skillet to create a crispy, golden-brown crust, while fresh sage leaves are quickly fried in the rendered pork fat until they are crispy and fragrant. The result is a perfectly cooked pork tenderloin with a crispy, flavorful crust and a burst of earthy sage in every bite. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a delicious and elegant meal, Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Crispy Sage is sure to be a hit.
