Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and all but 2 tablespoons parsley. Let cool.
- Soak 10 to 12 toothpicks in water to prevent them from burning. Rinse the pork and pat dry. Butterfly the pork: Make a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each tenderloin; do not cut all the way through. Open the meat like a book so the tenderloins lie flat.
- Cover the pork with plastic wrap; pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick, starting from the middle and working outward. Spread the mushroom mixture over the 2 tenderloins. Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin. Secure the seams with the toothpicks.
- Preheat a grill to medium high; brush the grates with olive oil. Brush the pork rolls with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning, until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 140 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, about 10 minutes.
- Mix the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons parsley, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Remove the toothpicks and slice the pork rolls. Top with parsley oil.

PORK TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH HERBS AND CAPERS
Pork tenderloin is a lean cut that can easily dry out. But stuffing it with herbs, shallots and capers helps keep it nice and juicy as it roasts in a hot oven, and tying up the meat so it's the same thickness all over helps it cook evenly. After the pork is roasted, the drippings are simmered with orange juice, garlic and a little wine to make a quick, gently sweet pan sauce that goes wonderfully well with the meat. Serve with polenta, crusty bread or rice to soak up the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Slice pork tenderloin lengthwise to butterfly it, but don't quite slice all the way through: The 2 pieces should remain attached. Season with salt and pepper, then let sit while you prepare filling.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Stir in shallots, 1/2 tablespoon capers, 2 teaspoons sage, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Stirring frequently, cook until shallots start to brown, about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. (Adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.) Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Wipe out skillet and reserve.
- Spread cooled filling evenly on pork, then close pork, along the hinge, like a book. Then fold the thinner end up against the thicker portion so that pork is the same width all over. Tie with kitchen twine at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
- In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until oil is hot but not smoking. Place tenderloin seam-side up in the skillet, then transfer to oven and roast for 15 minutes. Flip pork over and continue roasting until meat reaches 140 to 145 degrees in the center, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer meat to a cutting board to rest; reserve skillet and juices.
- While the meat rests, make the sauce: Heat skillet over medium-high heat, then stir in vermouth and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each sage, rosemary and thyme, scraping up the browned bits on bottom of pan. Cook until vermouth is almost evaporated, then add orange juice and stock, and cook over medium-high heat until thickened and syrupy. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons capers, their liquid and the butter; season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce tastes too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- To serve, slice pork into 1/2-inch-thick slices and top with sauce and fresh thyme.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, slice the length of the tenderloin about an inch up from the cutting surface and continue working your way in as you roll back the meat. You should end up with a 1" thick rectangle the length of the tenderloin and about 8-10" wide.
- Cover with plastic wrap and pound till 3/8" thick. You should have a larger, thinner rectangle now.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, then spread mustard evenly over the surface, reserving 2 tbl spoons for later. Set to one side to rest.
- This is basically my wife's stuffing recipe:.
- Brown and drain the ground beef and sausage.
- Prepare the stove top dressing according to instructions on the box.
- In the butter, sauté onions and celery until soft.
- Mix the prepared dressing, onions, celery, ground beef, and sausage.
- Add Chicken broth a little at a time until stuffing is moist, but not mushy--you may not need the whole can.
- Spread the dressing evenly over the flattened tenderloin.
- Roll from the long side making a "jelly roll" shaped roast.
- Tie, using butcher's twine, several knots along the length of roast to hold it together.
- Sprinkle the outside with the remaining Cajun seasoning and spread remaining mustard.
- Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for approximately 2 hours or until the internal temperature is 170.
- When done, remove and let rest for 15 minutes.

Steps:
- For the dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Continue to cook until the butter begins to bubble and smoke. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bread cubes and poultry seasoning to the skillet and stir and fold the bread to toast it, 3 to 4 minutes. The bread should start to brown and should smell amazing.
- Turn off the heat and drizzle in about 1 cup of the broth and fold it into the bread. Drizzle in enough more broth to moisten the dressing but not make it soggy. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Once you're happy with the flavors, stir in the parsley and thyme.
- Dot the top of the dressing with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until browned, about 10 minutes longer.
- For the pork: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Press the seasonings firmly onto the pork.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in the oil. When the first wisp of white smoke appears, add the pork and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 5 minutes, then flip the pork and return the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the pork reaches 135 degrees F. Remove from the oven, transfer the pork to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let rest until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for a nice medium, 8 to 10 minutes. (If you want the pork a little more well done, remove from the oven at 140 degrees F and let rest until 145 degrees F.)
- For the quick gravy: Place the hot pan the pork cooked in back over medium-high heat. Toss in the butter and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is light brown and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir for another minute, making a rough roux. Slowly stir in the cold broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the gravy just simmers. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Finish by stirring in the cream.
- Slice the pork and serve it with the dressing and gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Tips:
- For a juicy and flavorful tenderloin, brine it in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and herbs for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Season the tenderloin generously with salt and pepper before searing. This will help to develop a delicious crust.
- Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the tenderloin from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices from running out.
- Serve the tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, pork tenderloin is sure to please everyone at the table. With its juicy, tender texture and flavorful taste, pork tenderloin is a perfect choice for any meal.
