How to Butterfly a Pork Tenderloin
When butterflying a pork tenderloin, you’re going to want to slice the pork lengthwise. Take care that you don’t cut the pork through- you want the meat to open up like a book. By slicing the pork this way, you’re ensuring that you’re going to be able to add your stuffing without it coming through. After you’ve butterflied the tenderloin, I recommend using a meat hammer to carefully pound the pork until it’s about 1/2 inch thick.

Once you’ve butterflied your pork tenderloin and gotten it to 1/2 inch thickness, you’re going to combine the cream cheese, gouda, onions, garlic and Dijon. Spread this mixture in the center of your meat and add in the spinach. Roll the pork up tightly and use toothpicks or butcher’s twine to secure. Top with your balsamic glaze.
How long to cook a Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Once you’ve gotten your Stuffed Pork Tenderloin assembled, you’ll want to sear it on all sides until golden brown- use an oven safe skillet as you will be putting this pan in the oven.

Halfway through cooking, add the rest of your glaze to the pork and toss your veggie

Tips for the best Pork Tenderloin
- Take care to slice your pork as evenly as you can down the center so that both sides cook completely
- When you’re butterflying your tenderloin, be careful that you don’t accidentally cut it in half!
- I recommend allowing the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Using a meat thermometer will take any guess work on if your meat is done or not, so you can be sure it’s perfectly cooked every time!
What should I serve with Stuffed Pork Tenderloin?
One of the great things about this dish is that it’s a main dish and a side all in one!
