CHEF LYLE'S ROASTED STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH CRAB AND SHIITAKE



Chef Lyle's Roasted Stuffed Pork Loin With Crab and Shiitake image

Chef's Note: If you wish to take the additional time involved instead of cutting a pocket in the center of the roast you can butterfly the Roast, place the stuffing in the center then roll the roast and tie up with butchers twine. This will create a pinwheel look when you slice the roast and makes a nice presentation. This was an after thought and I have not tested it as of yet to see how the cooking time is effected but any chef or gourmet cook should have no problem adjusting the cooking time accordingly.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 1/2 lbs pork loin roast
8 ounces lump crabmeat
8 -10 ounces shiitake mushrooms
1 cup diced onion
2 large garlic cloves
1 sprig fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups bread cubes
kosher salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
2 tablespoons dry steak seasoning
1/4-1/2 cup white wine
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups pork stock

Steps:

  • In a 2-quart saucepan bring chicken stock and butter to a heavy simmer and remove from heat. Add bread cubes and incorporate until all liquid has been absorbed, salt and pepper to taste and set aside. If stuffing is to dry add a little water or chicken stock to moisten. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet heat approximately 3 tbsp olive oil place onions in the oil and sauté until they start to turn golden brown while the onions are cooking chop the fresh herbs, garlic and rough chop the shitake mushrooms and add to onions along with the crab. Cook for about10 minutes, add the stuffing mix, salt and pepper to taste and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees, take a sharp knife and cut a large pocket in the center of the roast going completely through the roast season the inside of the roast with a small amount of salt and pepper then drizzle some EVOO on the outside and sprinkle the rub on the outside of the roast aprox 1 tbsp per side massaging it into the meat on both sides.(I use Wolfgang Pucks Steak Rub which can be ordered online) Stuff the center of the roast with the stuffing and place roast on rack fat side down in a roasting pan and cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and cook for 1 hour, place remainder of the stuffing in a coated baking dish cover with aluminum and place in oven at this time. Remove the aluminum from the roast and cook for an additional 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 158 degrees or your desired doneness, remove Foil from stuffing during the final 15 minutes of baking to brown.
  • Remove the Roast on a rack and set aside to rest while you prepare the Gravy. Pour a about ¼ to ½ cup white wine into roasting pan to deglaze the pan, a Nice Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio will do just fine and use a wooden scraper to deglaze the pan being sure to get all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, add Butter and flour to create a rue slowly add first cup of pork stock while vigorously whisking to dissolve the rue continue whisking occasionally while bringing to a boil. As the gravy thickens continue to whisk continually and add additional pork stock as needed until gravy reaches desired consistency.
  • Slice roast in ¼ inch slices and arrange on the plate, drizzles desired amount of gravy over the meat and sprinkle with sliced green onion or chives. Serve with Jacques Pepin's Potatoes Fondantes (recipe to Fallow) and you favorite veggies or a Salad.

Tips for Making Crab Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

  • Choose high-quality pork tenderloin and crab meat. Look for pork tenderloin that is firm and evenly colored, and crab meat that is fresh and flaky.
  • Make sure to butterfly the pork tenderloin properly. This will allow you to stuff it evenly with the crab mixture.
  • Don't overstuff the pork tenderloin. Too much filling will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Crab stuffed pork tenderloin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and attention to detail. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your crab stuffed pork tenderloin turns out perfectly. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
