Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Fall Mushrooms
Ingredients:
2 pork tenderloins, cleaned of silver skin, tail end removed
2/3 tablespoon butter
1 1/3 cups assorted fall mushrooms (morels, shiitakes)
1 1/3 tablespoons white wine
1/8 cup shallots
2/3 teaspoon chopped thyme
1/8 cup bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
For the Marinade:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup thyme
Cooking Instructions:
- Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade and pour over the tenderloins.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- While the pork is marinating, melt the butter in a skillet and add the mushrooms, shallots, thyme, salt and pepper. Deglaze with white wine. Cook until the liquid has evaporated. Drain the mushrooms in a strainer. Stir in the bread crumbs.
- Roll the mushrooms into 3 1/4-inch plastic wrap tubes the length of the cleaned tenderloin (about 6-7 inches). Wrap tightly and freeze.
- Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and pat dry. Using a steel or the handle of a wooden spoon, make a hole in each tenderloin lengthwise. Tie the mushroom tube to a knitting needle or skewer and pull through until the mushroom roll is filling the tenderloin entirely.
- Slice off the back end of the plastic wrap at the end of the tube not tied to the skewer. Hold the skewer end of the tenderloin closed and pull the plastic wrap from the inside of the tenderloin, leaving the mushrooms. Repeat this for the remaining tenderloins.
- Season the pork tenderloin with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Sear on all sides in a dry hot pan and finish in a 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Place the tenderloins on a cutting board and let them rest 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
