Spring Pork Tenderloin Recipe
Description
The Spring Pork Tenderloin Recipe centers on pork tenderloins with shallow cuts filled with prosciutto, optional goat cheese, and fresh, chopped vegetables like asparagus, bell pepper, zucchini, and tomato. The dish is finished with a herb-infused seasoning blend combining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Roasting at 425°F for about 25 minutes yields pork cooked to medium with a tender, juicy texture complimented by the baked vegetables inside each cut.
The flavors are balanced between the mild pork, savory prosciutto, earthy herbs, and bright notes from the balsamic vinegar and fresh vegetables. The roasted tenderloin slices offer an attractive presentation with colorful vegetable stuffing. This recipe works well for an elegant yet home-style meal, paired with extra roasted vegetables or a fresh side salad.
Extra vegetables leftover from the stuffing can be tossed in olive oil and roasted alongside the pork or used the next day in a vegetable stir-fry, making good use of ingredients and reducing waste.
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloin 1 ½-2 lb each
- 3 ½ ounces prosciutto thinly sliced
- goat cheese optional, ¼ cup
- 6 pears asparagus ends snapped off
- ¼ medium yellow bell pepper cut into strips
- ¼ small zucchini cut into rounds then each round cut in half
- ½ small tomato cut into slices
The Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons oregano or 1 teaspoon each dried, each, minced, fresh
- 2 teaspoons thyme or 1 teaspoon each dried, each, minced, fresh
- ¾ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pork on the baking sheet and make cuts every 2 inches along the tenderloins being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff a small piece of prosciutto into each of the cuts. If you're using the goat cheese, place about a teaspoon in each cut. Fill the cuts with the veggies, alternating colors.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the seasoning ingredients. Pour this over the pork.
- Place the tenderloins in the oven and roast for 25 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, you want it to read 145 degrees. After removing it from the oven, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into slices to serve.
Notes
- Extra vegetables after stuffing the pork can be roasted with olive oil alongside the meat or used for a stir fry the next day.
