Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 1 cup Sauerkraut
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lay out the pork tenderloin on a clean cutting board. Butterfly the pork by slicing it lengthwise about three-quarters of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way. Open the tenderloin like a book.

Step 3

Using a meat mallet, gently pound the pork to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Be careful not to tear the meat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine sauerkraut, caraway seeds, and minced garlic. Mix well to create the filling.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of Dijon mustard over the butterflied pork tenderloin.

Step 6

Spread the sauerkraut mixture evenly over the mustard-covered pork, leaving about 1 inch on all sides for easier rolling.

Step 7

Roll the pork tenderloin tightly from one long end to the other, forming a pinwheel. Tie the roll with kitchen twine at regular intervals to secure it.

Step 8

Rub the outside of the rolled pork with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the pork pinwheel on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Remove the twine and slice the pinwheel into 1-inch rounds. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
