Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp.
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1
small yellow onion, chopped
- 4 oz.
baby bella mushrooms, chopped
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups
baby spinach
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 oz.
cream cheese, softened
- 1
(1.5-lb.) pork tenderloin
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 400° and line a large baking sheet with parchment. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, 5 minutes more, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2Butterfly pork tenderloin by slicing down one side and cutting through the middle without cutting all the way through on the other side. Fold open like a book and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat tenderizer to flatten meat out to about ½” thick.
- Step 3Remove top piece of plastic wrap and spread cream cheese over tenderloin. Top with spinach mixture and spread in an even layer.
- Step 4Starting on a long end, tightly roll tenderloin up and secure with kitchen twine. Place tenderloin on prepared baking sheet and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until internal temperature registers 145°, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
