Ingredients

• 1 whole (about 1.5 lbs) Pork tenderloin
• 1.5 cups Button mushrooms
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 small Shallot
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon (plus more to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (plus more to taste) Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 medium Apples (like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 1.5 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing it lengthwise, stopping about 3/4 of the way through. Lay it flat between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the mushroom stuffing by finely chopping the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, shallot, and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated.

Step 5

Stir in the fresh thyme, panko breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then transfer to a mixing bowl to cool.

Step 6

Once the stuffing mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the beaten egg to bind the ingredients together.

Step 7

Spread the stuffing mixture evenly onto the flattened pork tenderloin. Roll the pork tightly from one end to the other (like a jelly roll) and secure with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. Season the outside lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

While the pork is in the oven, prepare the pan-seared onion apple topping. Peel and thinly slice the onion and apples.

Step 10

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and apples, cooking for 10-12 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 11

Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until most of the liquid has reduced.

Step 12

To serve, slice the pork tenderloin into rounds and top with the caramelized onion apple mixture. Enjoy!
