2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Provided by Food.com

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 cups dried cornbread
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup red pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
8 ounces andouille sausages, diced
1 tablespoon thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon sage, chopped
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups broth
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white pepper, ground
egg, whisked

Steps:

  • Butterfly the pork by making a ¾ inch cut down the length of the tenderloin. Be Careful not to cut all the way through. From that cut into the sides, opening the tenderloin as you go like a flap or book. Use a meat mallet to pound the butterflied tenderloin out flat. Season with seasoning mixture on both sides and rub with a little of the olive oil.
  • In a large bowl crush up cornbread into large crumbs. Using the butter sauté peppers, onion, garlic and celery until they becomes translucent. Add sausage and continue sautéing until has color on all sides. Add contents in the pan to the cornbread crumbs along with the herbs, then the stock. Add eggs and mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Separate the dressing into 2 equal parts. Put each into the butterflied tenderloin, spreading evenly along the length and out until about 1 inch from each edge. Roll up the tenderloins making sure the dressing is not falling out on the edges. Pan sear all sides in a little olive oil for color. Then place in preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • Allow pork to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into ¾ inch rounds.
  • Serve with a savory Aus Jus and Sweet Potato puree.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork roast: Look for a roast with good marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking. A pork shoulder or pork loin roast are both good options.
  • Make sure the pork roast is completely dry before seasoning it. This will help the seasonings adhere to the meat.
  • Use a generous amount of seasonings. Cajun seasoning is typically a blend of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. You can also add other spices to taste, such as cumin, oregano, or thyme.
  • Roast the pork roast at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help the meat cook slowly and evenly. A good rule of thumb is to roast the pork at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork roast rest before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cajun roasted pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful seasonings, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
