How to Make Country Dressing Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pork tenderloin: Pat the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a slit lengthwise down the center of the tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book.
  3. Prepare the stuffing: If using homemade stuffing, ensure it's cooled completely. If using store-bought, follow package instructions for preparation.
  4. Stuff the tenderloin: Gently spread the stuffing evenly inside the slit of the pork tenderloin. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  5. Sear the tenderloin (optional): For added flavor, sear the stuffed tenderloin in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  6. Roast the tenderloin: Place the seared (or unseared) tenderloin in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan.
  7. Roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C). Baste the tenderloin with pan juices every 20 minutes.
  8. Rest the tenderloin: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
  9. Serve: Slice the tenderloin and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
