How should I prepare pork tenderloin for dinner?

[cssmall]

Right now, I know I'm going to give it a rub, sear it and let it braise. But, I was thinking about stuffing it as well. Any suggestions?

(If you're mind is in the gutter right now, then you've had too much coffee and/or Red Bull :D )

1. cook it rare...

hahahaha

just kidding.

I have stuffed pork with apples and currants and it has been very tasty.. you might want to do some searches in the cooking forum or via google.

15. I don't know about rare but most people overcook pork

It needs to be done but there's a difference between done and dried out.

2. That sounds like a pleasant dilemma to ponder. :-)

3. Stuff it with canned apricots.

4. A slight departure from your plan. Slow cook it in barbecue sauce

for 4-5 hours. Slice it thin. Cook another hour. Serve over potato buns topped with cole slaw.

5. You could always do it this way...

Slice it up into about 1" sections.
Pound the sections with a meat pounder thing.
Dip into flower, then egg, then crushed up ritz crackers.
Fry on the stovetop in vegetable oil.
Put in the oven (around 350-400) for about 10-15 minutes, or whenever you are finished doing the side dishes.

Yum. Even if it is fattening :p

6. I like to roast it with butter, garlic and rosemary.

Deeeelicious!

9. What about this:

Rub it with Cardamom, Paprika, Salt and Pepper. Then make the stuffing with a Sundried Tomato butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme?

14. I'd try it!

Maybe serve it with rice?

This thread is making me hungry!

8. I like a very slow grilling for my tenderloin...

Proceed with your planned rub and stuffing, but grill it. Give it a couple hours, don't cook it too fast. Heavenly.

[cssmall]

10. Yeah, but the grill I have isn't good enough for all that.

[Hobarticus]

11. Shoot. Then good ol' slow cooking will do the trick. n/t

13. Marinate and wrap in banana leaves?

16. Ever had pork adobo?

It's a tangy, tasty treat, and practically the national dish of the Phillipines.

You'll need to cut the tenderloin into medallions and then marinate them for a few hours with garlic, soy sauce, white vinegar and black pepper. Do a search of the internets for it; you'll find the measurements - I think it's 2 parts vinegar to one part soy sauce.

You can either grill it or roast it...chicken adobo is fantastic too!
