Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 (2 pounds) pork tenderloin, butterflied and pounded flat
- 4 slices prosciutto
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 10 white mushrooms, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the aromatic filling by sautéing mushrooms and shallots in a skillet with fragrant spices until they release their moisture and become tender.
- Incorporate fresh parsley and spinach into the mixture, allowing the greens to wilt and release their vibrant flavors, then blend in a hint of tangy mustard.
- Create a flat surface with the pork tenderloin, carefully layering delicate prosciutto slices across its surface.
- Spread the prepared mushroom and herb filling evenly over the prosciutto, ensuring complete coverage.
- Tightly roll the tenderloin, securing the filling inside, and use kitchen twine to maintain a compact shape.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet and sear the rolled tenderloin on all sides, developing a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer the browned tenderloin to a preheated 350°F oven, roasting for approximately 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes, which helps redistribute the juices and ensures a moist, tender result when slicing.
Notes
- Slice pork tenderloin horizontally without cutting through, creating a butterfly effect for maximum stuffing surface.
- Choose fresh, high-quality mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for deeper, richer flavor complexity.
- Pat pork dry before seasoning to ensure perfect browning and crisp exterior when searing.
- Allow meat to reach room temperature before cooking to guarantee even roasting and prevent tough texture.
