Grilled And Stuffed Colonial Pork Tenderloin Recipes

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cook the bacon. Preheat a 9 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon pieces are crisp. Remove the bacon pieces to a paper towel to drain and leave the bacon fat in the pan.
• Make the balsamic caramlized onions. Add the butter and the sliced red onions to the empty skillet. Cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions have darkened considerably in color. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
• Remove the fat from the tenderloin. Place the pork tenderloin on a large cutting board. Remove any excess fat or silverskin from the exterior of the tenderloin.
• Butterfly the pork. Butterfly open the pork tenderloin by using long strokes of your knife along the side of the tenderloin about 1/2 inch above the cutting board. Keep the slices parallel to the cutting board and roll open the tenderloin while slicing.
• Stuff the tenderloin. Spread the softened cream cheese on top of the butterflied tenderloin. Sprinkle with the shredded manchego cheese, caramelized onions, baby spinach leaves, and bacon pieces.
• Fire up the grill. Preheat your grill to Medium-High heat (about 375 degrees F) for two-zone cooking (one indirect heat side of the grill, one direct heat side). You can also cook this in your oven at the same temperature.
• Roll and secure. Starting with the edge of the pork tenderloin that was the inside (before slicing open) begin tightly rolling the tenderloin back up. It's okay if there are a few casualties that fall out the sides while rolling. Tie the roll together with butcher's twine every inch to inch and a half until the roll is nice and bound. Season the pork tenderloin liberally with the Chicken Seasoning.
• Grill the tenderloin. Place the stuffed pork tenderloin directly on the grill grates on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cook for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the tenderloin is 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the meat. Turn the pork tenderloin every 5 minutes while cooking.
• Rest and serve. Remove the tenderloin from the grill. Allow it to rest at least 5-10 minutes before removing the butcher's twine, slicing the tenderloin into 1 inch thick rounds, and serving.

GRILLED STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Butterfly the pork: Slice almost in half lengthwise, stopping about 1/2 inch from cutting through; open like a book and flatten with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet or a heavy skillet.
• Rub the pork with the grated garlic and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the red peppers on top of the pork in a single layer, then the basil and mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Roll up from the opposite long side into a tight log and tie with kitchen twine in three or four places. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
• Grill the pork, covered and turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the filling) registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, strip the kale leaves from the stems and tear into pieces. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kale, smashed garlic and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until the kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Roughly chop the giardiniera and stir into the kale until heated through, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Divide among plates and serve with the pork.

OSCAR-STUFFED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY POTATOES AND BEARNAISE

Steps:

• For the beef: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Chop the crabmeat and place in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise and chives, and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper and the lemon juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make a shallow cut lengthwise into the beef and then continue cutting along the curve, until the beef is a flat sheet. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Spread the crab mixture in an even layer on the beef, then place the asparagus lengthwise over the crab with the tips poking out. Roll up the beef to make a pinwheel, then use butchers twine to tie it together in 1-inch increments. Heat an ovenproof saute pan over high heat and add some oil. Sear the beef on all sides, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the internal temperature hits 130 degrees F, 30 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and rest on a cutting board before slicing.
• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a saucepan filled with cool salted water. Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain and cool. Using your thumb or a spoon, smash the potatoes until they break apart slightly. In a straight-sided saute pan add enough oil to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 365 degrees F. Add the rosemary and fry until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with the flaky sea salt and pepper, and garnish with the fried rosemary.
• For the bearnaise: In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, bay leaf and half of the tarragon. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Pour through a fine mesh sieve to strain out the solids.
• In the pitcher of a blender, add the yolks and the vinegar reduction. With the blender running, add one-third of the butter in a slow, steady stream. Once it emulsifies, increase the blender speed to high and add the remaining butter. Add the remaining tarragon leaves, then season with salt and pepper and give it one more buzz. Set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.
• Slice the beef into two portions and serve with the potatoes and bearnaise sauce.

• Rub garlic on inside, then fill cavity with Worcestershire. Stand upright and allow to "marinade" for ~30 minutes.
• Half, then slice apple and onions into about 1/16" slices.
• Reserve liquid marinade and stuff (you will be "shoving" this pork full -- don't think there is too much in there, there is not) with apples and onions.
• Liberally apply pepper to each side and grill for 20 minutes per side at a constant temperature between 375-400 degrees. Watch for flares and move to top rack if necessary to prevent burning.
