With a sharp knife remove as much sinew from the tenderloin as possible. Rub the tenderloin with the paste, then wrap it with bacon strips overlapping them slightly, so they stay secure. Brush with the mixture of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar.

Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reads 65C/150F for the juiciest pork. If the bacon is not crisp enough, finish it under the broiler/grill (UK) for 3-5 minutes or as long as needed. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
