Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
To start off, let’s take a look at this scrumptious dish that promises to be the star of your dinner table.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this recipe:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the cooking process:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Begin by preparing the pork tenderloin. Carefully slice the tenderloin lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through, so it opens like a book.
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. This will be the delicious filling.
- Spread the filling evenly across the open tenderloin, then fold it back together and use kitchen twine to secure it if necessary.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until it’s nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared tenderloin to a baking dish and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, let the meat rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy slices every time.
- Serve and enjoy with your favorite sides!
There you have it! A delicious stuffed pork tenderloin that is not only satisfying to make but also a treat to share with your loved ones. Happy cooking!
