Pork has not always been my favorite, it can be amazing…. or like shoe leather all depending on how you cook it. I have made my share of shoe leather…lol. But I have learned the cut of meat you buy makes a HUGE difference. My favorite cut BY FAR is the Pork Tenderloin it is simply amazing. If you want a juicy, flavorful, but tender (I mean so tender you can cut it with a fork) this you have to try it. It cooks rather quick as well, 1 pound only takes 25 minutes in a 425 degree oven.
Matt’s Mom made a stuffed tenderloin this summer and I think it may have been the best thing I have ever tasted! Best part is it is easy to make… and looks all fancy when you serve it up too. (Sorry my photos are not too great, I was trying to multitask and photos got the short end of the stick). Start out by cutting the loin down the center and laying it open.
Prepare a boxed stuffing mix (per box directions). I lay it on top of some plastic wrap, that way I can “squish” it into a log before I place it on top the pork. It also makes it easier to move. Wrap the loin around the stuffing and seal the edges with toothpicks or metal food pins. Make sure you leave part of the hook out so you can take it out before serving.
Then take 4 strips of bacon and wrap the whole thing. Place on a baking sheet and cook at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes per pound, or till a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees. Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before cutting (do not forget to take out the toothpicks or pins). Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
want to change that up a little….sprinkle the meat with ground mustard and black pepper before you wrap it in the bacon…then pour half cup of red wine over it and bake the same way….yum
