Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients:

– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup of olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
– 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth
Preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, and chicken or beef broth.
4. Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise incision along the pork tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open the tenderloin and place the breadcrumb mixture inside.
5. Roll the tenderloin back up and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Cooking the Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed pork tenderloin and sear it on all sides until golden brown.
2. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
3. While the pork is cooking, pour the mustard-honey-balsamic mixture into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
4. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve the stuffed pork tenderloin slices with the savory sauce on the side.
