Description

An irresistible Christmas Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, perfect for holiday dinners that balances flavor and approachability.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 12 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional: egg/bacon/apples for stuffing

Instructions

  1. Remove tenderloin from fridge, pat dry, trim silver skin and excess fat.
  2. Butterfly the tenderloin by making a lengthwise cut through the center, stopping 1 inch from the other side.
  3. Cover with plastic and gently pound to even thickness; season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and olive oil. – Optionally add a beaten egg for binding.
  5. Spread the stuffing evenly across the opened tenderloin and roll it up. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear the roll on all sides until browned.
  7. Transfer the skillet to a 400°F oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (about 15-20 minutes).
  8. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into medallions.

Notes

Stuffing can vary with dried fruit, nuts, or different herbs. Ensure even thickness for uniform cooking.
