Incredibly  easy to make Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin –  With only a few ingredients and no expertise required, this dish will become a favorite!Â
The easiest pork tenderloin you will ever make!  No searing the meat prior to cooking, no tying little strings….just baste with a simple honey dijon sauce, wrap, bake and eat!  You are soooo gonna impress your family and friends with this one!
The honey dijon sauce does double duty. Â It flavors the meat as well as keeping the prosciutto adhered to the tenderloin, Â so tying little annoying strings is not necessary. Â I don’t know about you, but these chubby little fingers hate that string.
How to make Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin –
To start, lay out a piece of parchment paper, foil or even plastic wrap will do.  Now place your prosciutto, overlapping slightly, making it the same length as your pork loin.
Place the pork on the prosciutto and brush with half of your honey dijon sauce.
Now simply lift up the parchment edge and your pork tenderloin will wrap itself up in the prosciutto!    It’s a miracle I tell ya!
Roll it rather tightly as the pork tenderloin will shrink while roasting and you want it to adhere to the pork.
Brush the top of the prosciutto with more honey dijon sauce. Pop in the oven for 25 minutes or so, and the crowd goes crazy with your cooking super stardom! Â Your family and friends are amazed and you win triple big hugs at dinner time! Â Go you!
What temperature should pork tenderloin be cooked to be done?
- In a 400 degree oven, your pork will be perfectly done when your meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees. Â Pork tenderloins vary in size. Â We used 2 pound as our standard and it cooked for about 30 minutes before reaching 145 degrees.
NOTE:  Turn this Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin  into a simple sheet pan dinner by tossing some cubed sweet potatoes and brussell sprouts around the pork!  One pan easy!

If you really wanted to make them go crazy with food delight.  I’d serve this with my Cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin! Don’t be fooled by this dish’s fancy pants appeal.  It’s just sliced potatoes standing up at attention with a simple cream sauce!
To easy and healthy dinners that are so pretty!

Loved this dish! Hard to find quick prep, crowd pleasing dishes when doing a Whole 30 (especially when the rest of the family isn’t). It was a hit with everyone. I can’t wait to try it again with the honey added to the Dijon after my month is over.
Kathi just found this and want to make for my wife as a surprise tonight 2/8/18. the directions do not mention type of pan used. Deep pan with rack? Sheet with or without foil oiled or not.
You are a good man! You can just line a sheet pan with foil for easy clean up. There is very little juice to this as the prosciutto and tenderloin are quite lean. Hope she loves it!
I Cooked this tonight, pretty impressed with the ease of the recipe, and the good flavor. A couple suggestions:First, treat the “down” side of the tenderloin with mustard, salt, pepper before placing it on the prosciutto bed, then paste the upside; second, try coarse mustard, for some texture!;
Love that suggestion!
My package has 2 smaller tenderloin, should i wrap and cook separate or bundle them up and cook as one?
It would probably work either way but I would do two separate for even cooking. Hope you love it!
Delicious recipe! Loved the prosciutto and pork combination and the honey dijon added so much flavor. So simple and quick, will make again!
I apologize because I’ve asked you on another one of your recipes, but do you have the nutritional information for this one? I’ve been working my way through your list and everything has been awesome so far, so I’d like to keep going. Thank you for such as easy way to eat healthy!
Hi Colleen! Don’t apologize! I encourage my readers to let me know which recipes need nutritional information. I’ll get to it this morning and post it!
Just found this recipe and cannot wait to try it. My only change will be to shorten the cooking time. I prefer to cook my tenderloins to an internal temp of 145. Might not allow the prosciutto to crisp up as much but the pork will be slightly pink and juicy. Thanks for the idea!
What can I substitute for the honey dijon? I’m doing the whole30 and I haven’t found compliant dijon. Thanks!
Just go without. The dijon kinda works as a glue but you can enjoy this without it. Just wrap the prosciutto tight around the tenderloin so when the tenderloin shrinks during cooking that there isn’t too much of a gap. Hope that helps! (compliant yellow mustard is an option as well).
Made this for dinner tonight. was fantastic! So moist and great flavor!
Thank you for taking the time to send a note! I love hearing when my recipes work for someone! xoxoxo!
REALLY DISsAPOINTING!!!!.. Because of this article I left them in the oven for 30min and they where totally overcooked and dry. They need more like 20min!!!!!!!
Oh no! I am so sorry! Trust your meat thermometer…tenderloins vary in size. My instructions are pretty clear on that. Again, so sorry this didn’t work for you!
Hi, can you clarify the ideal amount of pork tenderloin needed to serve 4 average appetites (adults).
Hi Miranda – most tenderloins are 2-4 pounds so one would serve 4. Most folks figure half pound per person but I think thats way too much! More like 4 ounces for us around here. But basically, one tenderloin will serve 4. Hope that helps!
I’ve never wrapped pork tenderloin in prosciutto before – but I have done a prosciutto wrapped chicken and loved it. I have to try this.. looks great!
Hey, that looks good, Kathi! I was wondering how I was going to prepare that pork tenderloin in my freezer. 🙂
