Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins medium
  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • ½ cup extra old cheddar grated
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup bread crumbs
  • 4 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • In a frying pan, add canola oil and cook chopped onions, salt and pepper. Cook until onions are soft and remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Trim any fat or silver skin off the tenderloins. In a frying pan over medium heat, sear both tenderloins until lightly browned all over. Let rest on a cutting board. 
  • Using a small bowl, mix the onions with cheese, chopped thyme and bread crumbs.
  • Cut the tenderloins ¾ way through lengthways down the centre and open them up like a book. Stuff the tenderloins with cheese, breadcrumb and onion mixture. Tie with kitchen twine in 2" intervals.
  • Place the tenderloins in a roasting pan and cook uncovered for 40-45 minutes at 350℉. Internal temperature should be 145℉.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes, remove twine and slice into medallions.
