Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Cajun Cornbread Stuffing Food

COUNTRY DRESSING STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, slice the length of the tenderloin about an inch up from the cutting surface and continue working your way in as you roll back the meat. You should end up with a 1" thick rectangle the length of the tenderloin and about 8-10" wide.
• Cover with plastic wrap and pound till 3/8" thick. You should have a larger, thinner rectangle now.
• Sprinkle with 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, then spread mustard evenly over the surface, reserving 2 tbl spoons for later. Set to one side to rest.
• This is basically my wife's stuffing recipe:.
• Brown and drain the ground beef and sausage.
• Prepare the stove top dressing according to instructions on the box.
• In the butter, sauté onions and celery until soft.
• Mix the prepared dressing, onions, celery, ground beef, and sausage.
• Add Chicken broth a little at a time until stuffing is moist, but not mushy--you may not need the whole can.
• Spread the dressing evenly over the flattened tenderloin.
• Roll from the long side making a "jelly roll" shaped roast.
• Tie, using butcher's twine, several knots along the length of roast to hold it together.
• Sprinkle the outside with the remaining Cajun seasoning and spread remaining mustard.
• Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for approximately 2 hours or until the internal temperature is 170.
• When done, remove and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Remove twine, and cut 1" thick slices and serve.

ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH CAJUN CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Butterfly the pork by making a ¾ inch cut down the length of the tenderloin. Be Careful not to cut all the way through. From that cut into the sides, opening the tenderloin as you go like a flap or book. Use a meat mallet to pound the butterflied tenderloin out flat. Season with seasoning mixture on both sides and rub with a little of the olive oil.
• In a large bowl crush up cornbread into large crumbs. Using the butter sauté peppers, onion, garlic and celery until they becomes translucent. Add sausage and continue sautéing until has color on all sides. Add contents in the pan to the cornbread crumbs along with the herbs, then the stock. Add eggs and mix well.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Separate the dressing into 2 equal parts. Put each into the butterflied tenderloin, spreading evenly along the length and out until about 1 inch from each edge. Roll up the tenderloins making sure the dressing is not falling out on the edges. Pan sear all sides in a little olive oil for color. Then place in preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes.
• Allow pork to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into ¾ inch rounds.
• Serve with a savory Aus Jus and Sweet Potato puree.

CAJUN CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp, remove from pan and set aside.
• Drain grease from skillet, reserving 1 tbs.
• Saute garlic,onion,green pepper and celery in 1 tbs. of bacon grease until softened.
• In a large mixing bowl,combine sauteed vegetables,crab meat,shrimp,crumbled bacon,cornbread,chicken broth,seafood seasoning and sage.
• Use to stuff poultry.

CAJUN SEAFOOD CORNBREAD STUFFING (FOR PORK, CHICKEN OR FISH)

Steps:

• Bake cornbread and allow to cool, or use leftover. Crumble into fairly fine crumbs to equal 2 cups.
• Clean and de-vien shrimp, chop into course pieces, 1/2 inch. Save shells.
• In a small sauce pan bring chicken broth to simmer, add shrimp shells and simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside and add the juice from the canned clams.
• Saute onion and celery in butter until tender.
• Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs and cornbread crumbs, salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder and poultry seasoning, mix well.
• Strain broth into crumb mixture with a fine sieve or colender, discard shells, and give a quick stir. Add soup and eggs and stir well.
• Fold in shrimp and clams.
• Now, here is the important part, you want a really moist mixture that is not too moist. You may have to add broth or water (I used a tad bit of beer he he) You want to be able to use a big soup spoon, not a ladle but one of those huge spoons, scoop up some of the dressing and if a little runs off the sides but still remains heeped up on the spoon, perfect. If nothing runs off the sides of the spoon and you picked up a big ball of stuffing it is too thick. You need to add broth, water, or in my case beer until it forms a rounded peek when scooped instead of a ball.
• Now, your stuffing is ready to cook, boy this is good. Take you a good cut of porkchop, fish, or chicken breast, place each serving on a piece of greased foil big enough to fold the sides of the foil up high enough to hold the stuffing, place the servings on cookie sheet and fill it up with the stuffing. Oh man, this just keeps getting better.
• Depending on how big your pieces of meat are and how much stuffing you put on them will determine on how long you need to cook them. You need to use a meat thermometer to test the doneness. When done, allow to cool 5 minutes, fold back foil and use a spatula to remove onto plate.
• I cook mine at 375 F for about an hour. I use thick cuts and lots of stuffing. This is good stuff man!
• I even make these ahead and freeze them, just thaw and cook.
• Servings, prep and cooking times are estimated as best as I can.

Add the cornbread and fresh herbs and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest until cool.
• When cool add the whipped egg whites, heavy cream and melted butter and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Make a cut 1/4-inch from the top of the loin down the full length and roll the pork cutting at the same time, this will give you a flat piece of meat ( if you were to roll it back up it would look like it did before you cut it). Evenly spread the stuffing over the flattened pork loin and then re-roll it back to the original form.
• Tie together with butcher's twine, so the loin is tied every 1 to 2 inches. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to rest and firm up a bit.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using a large skillet over high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and sear the whole pork loin until golden brown all over, then transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F.
• Check the pork temperature after 10 minutes, as some ovens cook faster than others, and we don't want the meat to overcook. The loin should be removed from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the loin to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil, to rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to cook and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
