Provided by Add Lim

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time P1DT1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oil-cured black olives, pitted
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, halved and deseeded
4 fresh mushrooms
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon browning sauce

Steps:

  • Slice the pork tenderloin open the long way. Spread the mustard, minced garlic and chopped olives in the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper all-over, to taste. Tie the loin at 1-inch intervals to shape evenly into a roll. Refrigerate and marinate loin for 24 hours.
  • To Grill: Prepare grill for high heat.
  • Using a generous amount of heavy-duty foil, lay the sliced red pepper on the bottom. Put the marinated tenderloin on top. Paint the surface with browning sauce and place the onion slices and mushrooms on top. Seal the foil, making a little tent on top.
  • Grill the pork for about 20 minutes or until it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 C). Remove from heat and allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • To Bake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Lay the sliced red pepper on the bottom of a roasting pan. Put the marinated tenderloin on top. Paint the surface with browning sauce and place the onion slices and mushrooms on top. Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • To ensure a tender and flavorful pork tenderloin, choose a cut that is about 1 pound in weight and 1 inch thick. Avoid any cuts that are too thin, as they can dry out easily.
  • Before cooking, use a sharp knife to trim any silver skin or excess fat from the tenderloin. This will help the meat cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • To create a flavorful marinade, combine olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. You can also add a touch of citrus juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor. Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Sear the pork tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the meat and help to seal in the juices. Once the tenderloin is browned on all sides, transfer it to a baking dish.
  • Roast the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is cooked to the desired doneness.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Italian pork tenderloin is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its tender and flavorful meat, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you choose to marinate the pork in a flavorful mixture of herbs and spices, or simply season it with salt and pepper, you can be sure that the result will be a delicious and satisfying meal. Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying Italian meal.
