Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 1.5 pounds) Pork tenderloin
• 6 pieces Dried figs
• 3 ounces Blue cheese
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• None as needed Kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the pork tenderloin by trimming any excess fat or silver skin. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut down the center of the tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book to create a flat surface.

Step 3

Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the butterflied pork and pound it with a meat mallet until it is about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Chop the dried figs into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the blue cheese, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Mix to combine the stuffing ingredients.

Step 5

Season the inside of the pork tenderloin with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the fig and blue cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving about 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Carefully roll the tenderloin lengthwise into a tight cylinder, enclosing the stuffing. Secure the roll with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.

Step 7

Rub the outside of the tenderloin with olive oil, then season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the tenderloin for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Carefully remove the kitchen twine, slice the pork tenderloin into thick medallions, and serve warm.
