This Italian Pork Tenderloin Recipe May Be Your Favorite Ever!
This pork tenderloin recipe may be the best thing you've made in a very long time ... it was for us!
Iβm a good cook. Not to toot my own horn, but Iβve been cooking for a very long time. In fact, Iβve been cooking family meals since I was in the fifth grade. Iβve owned a restaurant. Iβve catered parties up to 150. So, Iβm confident in the kitchen. All this to say, when I made this super simple recipe for my family, my husband of 18 years said, βThis may be the best thing youβve ever cooked.βΒ At that point, I decided not to think about so many previous mealsΒ that took me hours to make. This recipe has only four ingredients, takes five minutes of prep time and then cooks for 25 minutes. Thatβs it.
For some background, I did make this a few times, and I found that the Kroger brand peppercorn-seasoned pork tenderloin was hands down the best for this. It made for the juiciest, most flavorful end result.
For a mid-week mealΒ that is alsoΒ fancy enough for a dinner party orΒ holiday meal, this is your recipe.
Italian Pork Tenderloin
IngredientsΒ Β
- 2 Peppercorn marinated pork tenderloins
- 1 package of Hemisfares lightly smoked dry cured ham
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- Private Selection Italian Seasoning
InstructionsΒ
- Preheat over to 425.
- Butterfly both pork tenderloins. Sprinkle the Italian Seasoning over the pork. Layer each with 3-4 slices of the smoked cured ham. Add some more Italian Seasoning over the layered cured ham and provolone cheese. Fold the pork back over so that the cured ham and cheese are sandwiched between the two layers of pork tenderloin. Bake for 25 minutes.
