Cherry, Goat Cheese, and Spinach Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F
  2. Sauté Spinach: In a large skillet you can put in the oven (I use cast iron) add 1 TBSP of cooking oil and heat to medium high heat. Add spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and removed from pan.
  3. Make Filling: Mix cherries, goat cheese, and wilted spinach in a bowl.
  4. Prep Tenderloin:
    Pat dry then lay tenderloin on a cutting board.
    Hold knife blade parallel to the board and make a lengthwise cut through the center.
    Stop 1/4″ short of the opposite edge of the tenderloin so pork remains in one piece.
  5. Stuff the Tenderloin:
    Open meat as you would a book.
    Pound to a uniform thickness.
    Season inside with salt and pepper
    Place filling down center and roll up tenderloin
    Tie tenderloin closed with twine
    Season with salt and pepper
  6. Sear Tenderloin:
    Take the skillet you cooked the spinach in and set it on high heat.
    Add a little more cooking oil if necessary.
    Once the pan is very hot add pork to the pan.
    Cook on all sides with out disturbing for 6 minutes each side.
  7. Bake Tenderloin:
    Place tenderloin on a baking sheet and back for 12-15 minutes.
  8. Remove the tenderloin from the pan and place on a cutting board. Let the Tenderloin rest for 5 – 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the twine, slice, and serve.
