Stuffed Pork Tenderloin With Mustard Caper Sauce Recipes

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH MUSTARD-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Flatten tenderloin rounds to an even thickness: If the tenderloin rounds are not an even thickness, use a rolling pin or mallet to flatten them to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Brown tenderloin medallions: Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloin medallions to the pan and sauté them until browned and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the medallions from the pan to a plate while you make the sauce.
• Make sauce: Add the shallots to the pan and cook for a minute, stirring. Add the cream and chicken broth. Increase heat to a boil and boil until the sauce has thickened a bit, about 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the mustard and capers.
• Return pork to pan: Return the pork to the pan and simmer until the pork has reheated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MUSTARD-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make spinach stuffing:
• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is golden but not crisp.
• Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook, turning with tongs, until wilted and tender, about 3 minutes. Toss spinach with mustard and 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Butterfly tenderloin:
• Arrange tenderloin on a work surface with pointed (thinner) end nearest you. Starting at top (thicker part), make a lengthwise incision down center of tenderloin, cutting two thirds of the way through thickness of meat, adjusting depth of incision as tenderloin tapers (be careful not to cut all the way through). Open tenderloin. Turning knife horizontally, cut tenderloin open on either side like the flaps of a book jacket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season inside of tenderloin with 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Turn tenderloin so that a long side is nearest you, then spread spinach filling evenly over opened tenderloin, leaving a 1-inch border along long edge farthest from you. Arrange egg quarters, end to end, along edge nearest you.
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
• Roll up tenderloin tightly, then tie with string at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
• Pat tenderloin dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat oil in cleaned skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Sear tenderloin, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part registers 150°F, 18 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer tenderloin to a platter and cool completely, uncovered, about 30 minutes. Chill, covered, until cold, about 2 hours.
• Make sauce:
• Force eggs through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in remaining sauce ingredients.
• To serve:
• Cut off string, then thinly slice tenderloin. Serve pork, cold or at room temperature, with sauce.
