Hairy Bikers Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Ingredients

For the Stuffing:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 dessert apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 150g (about 5 oz) good-quality sausagemeat
• 50g (about 1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Pork:

• 2 pork tenderloins (fillets), about 400g (14 oz) each
• 12 rashers of streaky bacon
• 1 tbsp olive oil

How To Make Hairy Bikers Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

1. Make the stuffing: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion gently for 5 minutes until softened. Add apple and cook 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
2. Combine the stuffing ingredients: Mix the cooled onion and apple with sausagemeat, breadcrumbs, and sage. Season with salt and pepper and combine thoroughly by hand.
3. Butterfly the pork tenderloins: Place tenderloin on a board, cut lengthwise about three-quarters through, and open like a book.
4. Stuff the pork: Flatten the opened tenderloin between two pieces of cling film to about 1cm thick. Spread half the stuffing over the meat. Repeat with the second tenderloin.
5. Roll and wrap the pork: Roll each tenderloin tightly around the stuffing. Lay six rashers of bacon on a board, slightly overlapping, place a stuffed tenderloin at one end, and roll to enclose completely. Repeat with second tenderloin.
6. Sear the pork: Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan) / 400°F / Gas Mark 6. Heat remaining olive oil in an ovenproof pan and sear bacon-wrapped tenderloins on all sides until golden.
7. Roast the pork: Transfer pan to oven and roast 15–20 minutes until cooked through and juices run clear.
8. Rest the meat: Transfer pork to a warm board, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes before slicing thickly.
