Rolled Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup dried currants
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified for tenderloin cooking, 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Remove the flap of meat from one end of the tenderloin and trim off the last 2 inches from the other end; chop these trimmings and set them aside for later use.
3
Place the tenderloin in front of you, with the short end facing towards you. Using a sharp knife, make parallel cuts along one long edge of the tenderloin about 1 inch from the bottom. Continue making these cuts until you reach the midpoint of the tenderloin, but stop before cutting all the way through.
4
Open up the tenderloin like a book, and then make shallow cuts in the flattened meat to create a pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through the tenderloin in these cuts.
5
Cover the flattened tenderloin with a heavy plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it down to about 1/2 inch thickness. Roll up the pounded tenderloin, cover with more plastic wrap, and refrigerate it to keep it cold.
6
In a bowl, combine the chopped pork trimmings, parsley, bread crumbs, currants, garlic, rosemary, egg, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Use a fork to mix all these ingredients together until they are well combined.
7
Take the tenderloin out of the refrigerator and unroll it on a work surface. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the tenderloin, leaving a 2-inch border on one of the long edges. Roll up the tenderloin and secure it with twine, ending at the 2-inch border.
8
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over all sides of the tenderloin to season it.
9
Heat an oven-safe skillet on your stovetop over high heat until it is hot. Add the tenderloin and cook until it is browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
10
Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and cook until the tenderloin is slightly pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the tenderloin has reached a safe internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
11
Once the tenderloin is cooked, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for 15 minutes before removing the twine and slicing it into thin pieces.
