🥘 Ingredients

1-½ pounds pork tenderloin
🔪 Instructions
To prepare the pork tenderloins
- Using a sharp knife, cut the each pork tenderloin in half, without cutting all the way through the meat. Place the tenderloins on a cutting board between a piece of plastic wrap and pound the pork with the meat mallet to flatten.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the tenderloin and season with salt and pepper.
To make the mushroom stuffing
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until bubbly.
- Stir in the diced mushrooms and onions. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the rosemary and all purpose seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes longer, until mushrooms and onions have softened.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the goat cheese until mushroom mixture is creamy. Remove from heat and set aside.
To stuff the pork tenderloin
- Lay 1 cup of spinach green in the center each one of the flattened pork tenderloin. Place ½ of the mushroom mixture over top of the spinach.
- Roll the pork tenderloin over the filling, securing with kitchen twine to hold it together.
To cook the stuffed tenderloin
- Place the pork over indirect heat on a gas grill preheated to 350 degrees. Grill for 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until outside of meat has browned and internal temperature registered at 165 with an instant read thermometer.
- Brush each pork loin with your choice of barbecue sauce and grill for 1 minute longer. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

📖 Variations
- Substitute cream cheese, or feta cheese for the goat cheese.
- Substitute olive oil for butter.
- Dice 1 jalapeno or ½ red bell pepper and add to the mushroom mixture.
💭 Tips
- Use sharp pointed knife to break beneath the silver skin on the pork loin. Then cut the silver skin away from the roast. This prevents a tough and chewy exterior on the meat.
- Be sure when pounding out the meat, that you do so with an even thickness of the meat to allow even cooking.
