Pepper-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is a flavorful and elegant main dish where tender pork is filled with a savory mix of sweet bell peppers, herbs, and cheese, then roasted to juicy perfection—ideal for dinner parties or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (1.5–2 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or thyme/oregano mix)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Kitchen twine, for tying

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and chopped peppers. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in herbs, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Butterfly the pork tenderloin: slice it lengthwise down the middle without cutting all the way through, then open like a book. Flatten slightly with a meat mallet.
  4. Spread the pepper mixture evenly over the pork, leaving a small border. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  5. Roll up the tenderloin tightly and secure with kitchen twine every 2 inches.
  6. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes).
  7. Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can prepare and stuff the tenderloin a few hours ahead—just refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or spinach to the filling.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without drying out the pork.
