Easy Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
- 1 packages stuffing mix, prepared per instructions
- 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp olive oil (divided 1 & 2)
- 1 tsp chicken seasoning (like McCormick Montreal Chicken)
- 1 medium white onion, chopped into large chunks
- 1 cup baby carrots
- Trim sinew from pork tenderloin (leave fat on for pan drippings).
- Starting at the fatter end about 1" from the end, insert sharp fillet knife and cut a deep slit down the centre lengthwise, BE CAREFUL not to cut all the way through to the other side, it needs to open like a book.
- Spoon about 3/4 to 1 cup of prepared stuffing into the middle, then fold pork closed, pushing the stuffing into the centre.
- Secure with kitchen string (or soaked toothpicks, but count how many you insert).
- Rub 1 tbsp olive oil on pork, sprinkle seasoning evenly to coat.
- In a well heated skillet, add remaining oil.
- Sear stuffed pork on all 4 sides, about 30sec-1min each side, this will seal the meat to help keep it moist.
- Place pork in roasting pan with chopped veggies.
- Roast in 425F preheated oven for 35 - 40 min.
- Thermometer temp should read 155.
- Remove from oven, cover tightly with foil and let stand 10 min.
- If used toothpicks, remove by pushing them through in the same direction they were inserted, dont pull them out in reverse to avoid splinters and be sure to remove all.
- Slice to desired thickness and serve with remaining stuffing, roasted pan veggies and other side dishes.
