Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin (450680 grams)
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese (115 grams), classic garlic and herb flavor
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (60 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the silver skin and excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Slice the tenderloin lengthwise down the center, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through.
  3. Spread the Boursin cheese evenly inside the pocket. Sprinkle half of the chopped parsley and chives over the cheese. Close the tenderloin and secure it tightly with kitchen twine at 1.5-inch (4 cm) intervals.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed tenderloin on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. While searing, combine minced garlic, remaining parsley and chives, lemon juice, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl and whisk gently to mix.
  6. Transfer the skillet with the pork to the preheated oven. Roast for 18-22 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-7 minutes. Remove the twine and slice the tenderloin into 1-inch (2.5 cm) medallions.
  8. Serve the pork slices drizzled with the fresh herb sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Trim silver skin for even cooking. Use kitchen twine to secure the filling. Rest pork after roasting for juicy tenderness. If sauce is thin, warm and reduce slightly before serving. Slice pork against the grain for maximum tenderness. Can substitute Boursin with herbed goat cheese or cream cheese with herbs. For dairy-free, use cashew cream cheese alternative. Meat thermometer recommended for perfect doneness at 145°F (63°C).
