Mushroom Stuffed Pork Tenderloin With Bacon Food

MUSHROOM STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon, drain and crumble. Set aside.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until they are browned and any liquid has evaporated; this should take about ten to twelve minutes. Season the mushrooms with one-half teaspoon of salt and one-quarter teaspoon pepper.
• Add the bacon and minced garlic and cook for one minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and all but two tablespoons of the parsley. Set aside and let cool.
• Use a sharp knife and carefully remove any fat or silver skin from the tenderloins. Silver skin is a thin pale silvery membrane, often rectangle in shape on a pork tenderloin. It is connective tissue and should be removed because it turns tough and chewy when cooked.
• To butterfly the tenderloins, use a sharp knife to make an incision down the length of the pork, stopping one-fourth an inch from the outside edge. Do not cut all the way through. Open the tenderloin like a book so that it lies flat. I also like to even up the ends if they look ragged.
• Cover the pork with plastic wrap or a gallon-size plastic bag and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet. You can also use a small cast-iron skillet or a rolling pin. Take your time and start from the middle of the pork and work your way outward until your pork is uniformly one-quarter to one-half an inch thick and about two times as wide. (It's hard to roll up the pork with the stuffing if it's any thicker.)
• Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the butterflied tenderloins. Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin. Secure the seams with toothpicks. Then tie each tenderloin securely with kitchen string to hold it together.
• Brush the tenderloins with olive oil and season liberally with the rest of the salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet you used to make the stuffing and place it back over medium-high heat. Sear both tenderloins for about two minutes on each side.
• Place the skillet in the oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 140 degrees F. Remove the pan from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let the pork rest for at least ten minutes. While it rests, the temperature will continue to rise to 145 degrees F. because of carryover heating.
• While the meat rests, make the gremolata mixture in a small bowl by mixing three tablespoons of olive oil with two tablespoons of finely chopped parsley, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• When ready to serve the pork, carefully remove the toothpicks and strings and cut them into one-inch-thick slices; before serving, top with the parsley mixture.

MUSHROOM BACON STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook bacon until crisp, about 8 minutes, and remove from the pan reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat in the pan. Add the mushrooms, garlic, & pepper. Cook until soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and parsley. Let cool.
• Cut the pork across (not all the way through) lengthwise so you can open it like a book. Pound the meat with a mallet until it's about ½" thick.
• Cover the pork with the bacon/mushroom mixture. Starting with a long side, roll up each tenderloin and secure with toothpicks.
• Combine the olive oil and dijon mustard. Rub over the outside of the pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-hight heat and add the tenderloin. Brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Place the skillet in the oven and bake 17-20 minutes or just until pork reaches 145°F. Remove from pan and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

MUSHROOM-STUFFED BACON WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat; add in mushrooms, onion and garlic, saute until tender (about 8 minutes).
• Stir in toasted pecans; set aside.
• Place the pork between two sheets of plastic wrap, then flatten to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Season the side of the pork that you will be stuffing with season salt and black pepper.
• Divide and spread the mushroom mixture evenly between the two tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Roll up jellyroll fashion starting with the long end.
• Wrap 4-5 bacon slices (can use more if desired) around each tenderloin roll, then secure with toothpicks.
• Place seam-sides down in a greased roasting pan/dish.
• Brush the tops and sides of each roll with about 2 tablespoons (or less) of olive oil.
• Rub evenly with coarse black pepper then sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt (or white salt).
• Bake uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
• Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• Delicious!

MUSHROOM STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and all but 2 tablespoons parsley. Let cool.
• Soak 10 to 12 toothpicks in water to prevent them from burning. Rinse the pork and pat dry. Butterfly the pork: Make a 1-inch-deep incision down the length of each tenderloin; do not cut all the way through. Open the meat like a book so the tenderloins lie flat.
• Cover the pork with plastic wrap; pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick, starting from the middle and working outward. Spread the mushroom mixture over the 2 tenderloins. Starting with a long side, tightly roll up each tenderloin. Secure the seams with the toothpicks.
• Preheat a grill to medium high; brush the grates with olive oil. Brush the pork rolls with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning, until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 140 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, about 10 minutes.
• Mix the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons parsley, the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Remove the toothpicks and slice the pork rolls. Top with parsley oil.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BACON-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat beef stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add thyme, rosemary and mushroom stems. Simmer 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 Tbs of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add bacon & green onions. Cook stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp; add sliced mushroom caps. Cook stirring often, 3 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the wine; heat to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Add beef stock/mushroom mixture and the cream (or half-and-half) to skillet; heat to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate heavy skillet heat 1 Tbs of the oil over high heat until very hot, cook tenderloin slices, in batches, adding more oil if necessary until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt & pepper to taste (remember bacon/prosciutto can be salty). Set aside, keep warm.
• Add remaining 1/4 cup of wine to the heavy skillet the tenderloin was cooked in; cook, stirring to scrape up browned bits, until wine reduces by half, 5 minutes. Add this to the simmering mushroom sauce. If mushroom sauce seems thin - thicken with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add parsley & pepper to taste. Serve pork with sauce.
