directions
- Butterfly the pork by making a ¾ inch cut down the length of the tenderloin. Be Careful not to cut all the way through. From that cut into the sides, opening the tenderloin as you go like a flap or book. Use a meat mallet to pound the butterflied tenderloin out flat. Season with seasoning mixture on both sides and rub with a little of the olive oil.
- In a large bowl crush up cornbread into large crumbs. Using the butter sauté peppers, onion, garlic and celery until they becomes translucent. Add sausage and continue sautéing until has color on all sides. Add contents in the pan to the cornbread crumbs along with the herbs, then the stock. Add eggs and mix well.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Separate the dressing into 2 equal parts. Put each into the butterflied tenderloin, spreading evenly along the length and out until about 1 inch from each edge. Roll up the tenderloins making sure the dressing is not falling out on the edges. Pan sear all sides in a little olive oil for color. Then place in preheated oven for 10 – 12 minutes.
- Allow pork to rest at least 10 minutes before slicing into ¾ inch rounds.
- Serve with a savory Aus Jus and Sweet Potato puree.
