How To Make stuffed pork tenderloin with spinach ham & cheese

  • 1
    Score meat in half lengthwise. Place some plastic wrap over and using the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten it down to ¼ to 3/8th –inch thick; discard cling film.
  • 2
    Place slices of ham on top and set aside. Preheat oven to 375ºF
  • 3
    In a mixing bowl, add spinach, cream cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, rosemary, hot paprika, ¼ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. black pepper. Stir the ingredients until evenly blended.
  • 4
    Spoon the spinach mixture on the pork. Roll up the meat while tucking the ends in. Keep in place with kitchen twine and secure the ends with toothpicks; season with salt and pepper.
  • 5
    In an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. When hot, add tenderloin, seam side down, and cook until brown, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
  • 6
    Flip the meat over and move the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140ºF to 145ºF.
  • 7
    Remove from the heat, transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil forming a tent to keep it warm. Let it rest 15 minutes before slicing.
