How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 (1.25 pound) pork tenderloin(s), silver skin removed
- 1/2 cup bourbon jam, onion jam, or fig jam
- 33333333/100000000 cup goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Butterfly the pork by using a sharp knife to cut a slit lengthwise down the tenderloin. Do not cut all the way through the tenderloin (see reference images). Open the tenderloin flaps like a book and pound the tenderloin with a meat mallet (or the bottom of a small pot) until it's about 1/2 inch thick. Be careful to not tear the meat while pounding it.
- Step 3: Spread the prepared jam evenly over the tenderloin, leaving a 1/2 inch gap around the borders. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the jam.
- Step 4: Roll up the tenderloin lengthwise and secure with horizontal toothpicks or kitchen twine. We'll be searing the tenderloin in a pan, so the toothpicks should lay flat against the meat.
- Step 5: Season the pork with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, place the tenderloin in the skillet and sear on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total.
- Step 6: If using an oven proof skillet, transfer the skillet with the tenderloin directly to the preheated oven. Otherwise, transfer the tenderloin to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest portion of the meat.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board or plate, and pour the pan drippings over the top. Cover loosely with foil and rest the meat 10 minutes. After resting, slice and enjoy.
