Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice roast open lengthwise in middle to create a pocket, being careful to not slice all the way through.
• Salt and pepper the meat on all sides.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat and brush roast with olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides. Remove from the heat, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• After the meat has rested, stuff pocket with the blue cheese. Tie the whole thing together with kitchen string. Return the tied meat to the grill pan, place into the oven and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees F, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and allow to rest 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove from pan, reserving fat in pan, and crumble into small pieces. To the same pan, add squash and onion and cook 3 minutes, until onion is soft. Remove from heat, add to a large bowl with the crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese, 2 tablespoons of the sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
• Butterfly pork on a flat surface and spread stuffing evenly over meat. Roll up pork and tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. Season pork all over with salt and black pepper and transfer to prepared pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake 45 more minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F for medium-well. Let pork rest 10 minutes before cutting crosswise into 1-inch thick slices.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together chicken broth, sherry and cornstarch. Set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add remaining 2 tablespoons blue cheese and tablespoon of sage and simmer 1 minute, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Serve 1/2 of the pork with all of the sauce spooned over top. Reserve remaining pork for quesadillas.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a small skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 6-8 minutes. In a small bowl, mix mustard, pepper, oil and salt., Cut lengthwise through the center of roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast and cut lengthwise through the center of each half to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast flat; cover with plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to 3/4-in. thickness. , Remove plastic. Spread mushrooms down center of roast to within 1/2 in. of ends; top with 1/2 cup cheese and onions. Starting at a long side, roll up jelly-roll style; tie at 1-1/2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Secure ends with toothpicks., Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; spread with mustard mixture. Roast until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 40-50 minutes., Remove roast from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Remove string and toothpicks. Top servings with remaining cheese. If desired, warm additional onions in microwave and sprinkle over tops.

Steps:

• Cut pork into 12 slices; sprinkle with steak seasoning. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add pork; cook, covered, until pork is tender, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm., Add cream to skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Cook until cream is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted. Serve with pork. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
• In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese, bacon and chives. Divide into halves, and pack each half into a loose ball. Place each one into a pocket of a butterflied pork chop, close, and secure with toothpicks. Season each chop with garlic salt and pepper. Keep in mind that the blue cheese will be salty. Place in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or it may take longer if your chops are thicker. Cook until the stuffing is hot, and chops are to your desired degree of doneness. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix green onions, bacon, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread onto one side of pounded tenderloin. Roll tenderloin around the filling in a jelly-roll fashion. Coat rolled tenderloin with bread crumbs; place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in one of the wide sides of each chop but do not cut completely through to any of the other sides.
• Use the knife, your finger, or the handle portion of a wooden spoon to expand the void in the chop as large as possible.
• The goal is to make a pocket for the cheese (picture a coin purse, where only the top is open).
• Use as much of the cheese as is necessary to fill the pocket.
• Secure with toothpicks in such a way that the chops will still lay levelly in a pan.
• Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
• Make several slices through the garlic yet keeping each clove intact.
• Fry in the oil till brown but not burned, then remove from pan.
• Season chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Brown the chops in the oil on each side.
• The cheese will probably begin to melt and leak from the chop, but don't worry about this.
• When chops are well browned, add the wine (as much as necessary to come about halfway up the sides of the chops) to the saute pan, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
• Remove them from pan directly to dinner plate.
• Stir the cheese that has leaked out from the chops well into the wine and cooking juices, still over the heat, until you have a well-incorporated sauce.
• This should only take a moment.
• Serve sauce over the chops immediately, and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• To prepare the stuffing, place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
• Butterfly (cut lengthwise almost all the way through) the pork loin. Butterfly again on the left side and on the right side.
• Spread the stuffing evenly over the loin. Roll the loin up like a jelly roll and tie securely at 2-to-3 inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Place the loin in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper.
• Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until internal temperature is 150-155°F Let stand for 1 minutes.
• Slice the pork, removing twine as necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Butterfly the pork by slicing it in half lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, the other side. Open the halves (like a book), laying pork flat.
• Place pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Sprinkle the figs and blue cheese over the pork, leaving about a 1/2-inch margin around the outside edges. Roll up the pork lengthwise, like a jelly-roll. (I tucked in the sides prior to rolling to keep stuffing in, but this is optional.) Secure at 2-inch intervals with twine. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper, and place on a foil-lined pan coated with cooking spray.
• The original recipe called for baking it at 450°F for 20 minutes, however, I've found the tenderloin to still be raw in some areas, so I've adjusted the pre-jelly cooking time to about 25-30 minutes. Use a thermometer to gauge.
• Remove the pork from the oven and brush with the melted apple jelly. Return the pork to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the thermometer reads 160°F (slightly pink). Keep an eye on the pork if cooking for longer than the additional 5 minutes because I've found the apple jelly that melts onto the pan will begin to burn.
• Remove the pork from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes. Remove the twine and cut the pork into 1 inch slices, or to the thickness of your liking.
• Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 1-inch slices).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Dry tenderloins with paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• In a saute pan large enough to hold both tenderloins, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add tenderloins, and brown well on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer meat to a small roasting pan, and place in the preheated oven.
• Roast to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F., about 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from pan and cover loosely with foil, allowing to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the sauce, return the saute pan to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoons of oil and heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add onion and saute 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally until transparent.
• Add wine and chicken stock, stirring for several minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat and skim any film off surface, then stir in blue cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; set aside, covering to keep warm.
• Slice pork at an angle about 1 inch thick and drizzle generously with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and shallots and cook on medium heat until fragrant and translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add the fennel, fennel seed, 1 tablespoon of the rosemary, apple, salt, black pepper, honey, vinegar, and apple brandy. Cook on medium heat until the apple and fennel are browned, about 15 minutes. Fennel should be soft but not mushy and still have some firmness. Remove the filling from heat and cool to room temperature. Toss in the blue cheese and the crispy bacon.
• Line a baking sheet with a heavy sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil, making sure the sheet is long enough to wrap up over the ends of the roast. Layer another two sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil over the first one. Set aside.
• Place the pork loin fat side down on a work surface, season the inside lightly with salt and pepper and then evenly spread the filling. Roll the pork up lengthwise and tie it securely with kitchen twine. Rub with remaining olive oil and season evenly with kosher salt. Heat a large heavy skillet (big enough to hold the entire loin) over high heat until very hot. Add the pork loin and brown very well on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Using tongs, place the roast in the center of the foil. Sprinkle with pepper and the rest of the rosemary. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Bake the wrapped loin for 45 minutes or until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 130 degrees F. Let the pork rest, wrapped, for 10 minutes. Open packet carefully by cutting along top fold with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape; then open top of foil packet. Slice and serve.
