Chef’s secret
How to stuff a pork tenderloin
- Use a chef’s knife to make a cut in the tenderloin, lengthwise. Make sure you don’t cut all the way through.
- Open the tenderloin and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten the tenderloin with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until it is about 1 cm (⅓ in) thick.
- Spread the stuffing onto the tenderloin. Roll the meat up tightly lengthwise.
