Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Good olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups sliced yellow onions (2 onions)
2 cups sliced fennel (1 large bulb)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 large cloves)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Pernod or white wine
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 (3 1/2-pound) loin of pork, butterflied

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • For the stuffing, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large (12-inch) saute pan. Add the onions and fennel with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook over low to medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel are tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Pernod and cook for another minute, deglazing the pan. Cool slightly.
  • Add the bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt to the stuffing mixture. Lay the pork on a board fat side down, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly on the pork and roll up lengthwise, ending with the fat on the top of the roll. Tie with kitchen string, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the rolled pork loin on a baking rack on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the interior of the pork is 137 degrees F. (If the thermometer hits stuffing rather than pork, it will register a higher temperature, so test the meat in several places.) Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the strings, slice thickly, and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork is safe to consume when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork by cutting into the thickest part of the tenderloin. If the juices run clear, the pork is cooked.
  • If you are using a grill pan, make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before cooking the pork. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the tenderloin.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pork, as it can become dry and tough.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pork tenderloin with lemon and fennel is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish. The pork is tender and juicy, and the lemon and fennel add a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
