Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil an oven-proof pan large enough to fit the tenderloin over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and mustard. Transfer to a bowl and season with pepper.
- Place tenderloin on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Place pork between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness. Trim any extra pieces so the tenderloin is rectangular.
- Chop the pork trimmings finely and add to the onion mixture. Spread onion mixture onto pork. Lay ham slices over it and sprinkle Gruyere cheese on top. Roll tenderloin up along the long side. Tie with cotton kitchen string. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Sear tenderloin in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer pan to the preheated oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin reads 145 degrees F (71 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

I love Cuban cuisine for its blend of Spanish, African and Carribbean cooking styles and flavors. This is one of those recipes that requires simple preparation the night before and then goes on the grill or in the oven for a quick but delicious meal.

Steps:
- Rinse the tenderloins, pat dry and place in a resealable plastic bag.
- Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the tenderloins.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, turning occasionally.
- Drain and discard the marinade; place the tenderloins in a foil lined baking pan.
- Roast the tenderloins at 350 degrees until a meat thermometer registers 150 degrees, approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Let the pork rest 5-10 minutes before slicing in 1/2" slices to serve.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For medium, cook to 155°F (68°C). For well-done, cook to 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also judge the doneness of the pork tenderloin by its color. When it is cooked through, it will be opaque and no longer pink in the center.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
