Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup blueberries
• 2 oz goat cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 roll kitchen string

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Open the meat like a book and flatten it using a meat mallet until it is an even thickness.

Step 3

Season both sides of the pork with salt, black pepper, and thyme, then set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the cooked spinach, blueberries, and goat cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spread the spinach, blueberry, and goat cheese mixture over the flattened pork tenderloin, leaving about 1 inch of space along the edges.

Step 8

Roll the pork tenderloin tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside. Secure the roll with kitchen string, tying it at 1-inch intervals.

Step 9

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 10

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the pork and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Roast the pork tenderloin in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven, cover the pork loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful dish!
