Best 4 Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin With A Blue Cheese And Olive Stuffing Recipes

STUFFED TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice roast open lengthwise in middle to create a pocket, being careful to not slice all the way through.
• Salt and pepper the meat on all sides.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat and brush roast with olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides. Remove from the heat, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• After the meat has rested, stuff pocket with the blue cheese. Tie the whole thing together with kitchen string. Return the tied meat to the grill pan, place into the oven and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and allow to rest 15 minutes before serving.

BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 400°F.
• In 8-inch skillet, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat and cool about 5 minutes.
• In medium bowl, stir cheese vigorously with spoon. Stir in cooled onion mixture, cherries, pecans and thyme; set aside.
• Place 1 pork piece on work surface with short side facing you. Use knife to slit in half lengthwise without going all the way through. Open pork like a book. Repeat with remaining pork. Spread half of the cheese mixture in center of each pork piece. Close up pork and tie with kitchen twine to secure. Season outside with salt and pepper.
• In 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot. Add pork and cook about 4 minutes or until browned. Flip, being careful not to open them up, and cook about 4 minutes longer. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in the thickest part of pork.
• Place skillet in oven and roast 10 to 15 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 155°F. Remove from oven and allow to rest, loosely covered with foil, about 5 minutes (temperature will continue to rise to 160°F). Slice each pork piece into 6 pieces. (If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, after browning pork in skillet, carefully place them in foil-lined 13x9-inch pan and then place in oven.)

PAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH A BLUE CHEESE AND OLIVE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Make a lengthwise cut in each pork tenderloin about 3/4 of the way through. Open each tenderloin, creating a rectangular shape, and place each between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound each tenderloin into a thin rectangle, about 1/2 to 1/2-inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap, and season each tenderloin to taste with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Spread tapenade on 2/3 of each tenderloin sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of space on the edges. Sprinkle blue cheese and thyme over the tapenade. Starting from the side with the stuffing, roll the meat firmly towards the side without stuffing, being careful not to roll so tightly that you squeeze the stuffing out. Use toothpicks or butcher's twine to secure each roll.
• Heat 3 tablespoons canola oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Lightly dredge each tenderloin roll in flour, and shake off excess. Sear the tenderloins in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes.
• Roast in preheated oven to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 20 to 22 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet, and set aside to rest in a warm place.
• Return skillet to stove over medium-high heat. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil, then stir in shallots and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in white wine, and boil until reduced by half, scraping the caramelized bits off of the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Remove pan from the heat, and rapidly whisk in butter cubes until dissolved. Stir in minced parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To serve, remove toothpicks or twine from the pork, and slice into 1/2-inch medallions. Serve the pork slices ladled with sauce.

SEARED PORK TENDERLOINS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Dry tenderloins with paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• In a saute pan large enough to hold both tenderloins, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add tenderloins, and brown well on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer meat to a small roasting pan, and place in the preheated oven.
• Roast to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F., about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from pan and cover loosely with foil, allowing to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the sauce, return the saute pan to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoons of oil and heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add onion and saute 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until transparent.
• Add wine and chicken stock, stirring for several minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat and skim any film off surface, then stir in blue cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; set aside, covering to keep warm.
• Slice pork at an angle about 1 inch thick and drizzle generously with sauce.
