Tuffy Stone'S Grilled & Stuffed Pork Loin Filet
- 1 Smithfield Slow Smoked Mesquite Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet
- 1/2 cup apple juice, in a spray bottle
- 1/4 cup diced Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup julienned yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 cups sliced kale
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted caraway seeds, crushed
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- For the kale stuffing, heat oil in large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-low. Add bacon; cook and stir until browned. Reduce heat to low; add onion and garlic. Saute until garlic is light golden and onions have sweated. Stir in kale, salt, black pepper, red pepper and caraway seeds; mix well. Add cider vinegar; cover pot and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until kale is tender. Remove lid and continue cooking until liquid has evaporated. Place mixture on plate or platter to cool before using.
- Heat charcoal or gas grill for 2-zone cooking; direct heat zone about 400u0b0F and indirect heat zone about 275u0b0F.
- For Pork Loin Filet, using a sharp knife, cut the loin down the middle lengthwise without cutting through. Open loin so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Working from the center to edges, lightly pound loin with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin to a rectangle with an even thickness throughout, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Spoon Kale Stuffing evenly over loin. Roll loin, jelly roll style, starting from the longest side. Tie loin closed with water-soaked butcher twine.
- Place stuffed loin filet over direct heat zone for 12 minutes, spraying with apple juice and rolling 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. Move browned stuffed loin filet to indirect heat zone and cook for 20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145u0b0F to 160u0b0F Let stand 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
