Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Stuffed Pork Loin.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
In a medium skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat, then add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and celery.
Step 3
Sauté these aromatic vegetables until they become tender, which should take about 12 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the torn bread, ensuring it absorbs the flavors.
Step 5
Season this delightful stuffing with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 6
Next, prepare the pork loin by slicing it in half lengthwise, stopping just short of cutting all the way through—think of it as opening a book.
Step 7
Cover the pork with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it flattens out beautifully.
Step 8
Remove the plastic wrap and spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the pork.
Step 9
Now, roll the pork over the stuffing, tucking it in snugly, and secure it with kitchen twine in three places to keep everything together.
Step 10
Place your beautifully tied pork loin in a roasting pan, seasoning the exterior with thyme, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 11
Add about 3 tablespoons of water around the roast to keep it moist during cooking.
Step 12
Roast your creation in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160°F (70°C), which should take approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Step 13
Once it’s perfectly cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 14
This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is succulent.
Step 15
Finally, untie the twine, slice, and serve your delicious stuffed pork loin, a dish that’s sure to impress at any gathering.
Step 16
Enjoy the flavors and the compliments that follow!.
