Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Lay the tenderloins open and flat on a board in front of you. Season each loin evenly all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lay 3 slices of provolone on each loin. Divide the breadcrumb mixture over the provolone. Roll the loins back up into their original shape and tie in 4 spots with kitchen twine.
- Heat a medium straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Sear the pork tenderloins until evenly golden brown all the way around, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate to rest. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and add the marinara sauce. Nestle the pork back in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer until the pork is just cooked through and registers 145 degrees F on an instead-read thermometer, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to rest uncovered for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the sauce.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a fork into the center of the tenderloin. If the juices run clear, it is done cooking.
- Rest the pork tenderloin for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- You can use any type of herbs or spices that you like with this recipe. Some popular options include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- If you are using a cast iron skillet, make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the pork tenderloin. This will help to create a nice sear on the meat.
Conclusion:
Italian-style pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be ready in under an hour. The pork tenderloin is tender and juicy, and the Italian-style sauce is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
