Pesto-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
The real magic happens when creamy pesto meets tender pork and a hint of cedar smoke. This simple, budget-friendly cut transforms into a feast with just a few ingredients and the unmistakable aroma of grilling on a cedar plank. Ingredients · 1 pork tenderloin · 1 cup creamy cashew pesto (see recipe) · 1 cup crumbled feta (or mozzarella) · Optional: fresh spinach or other vegetables · Salt and pepper to taste Instructions 1. Soak the plank: Submerge a True Fire Cedar Grill Plank in water for at least 2 hours. For added flavor, try soaking it in apple cider vinegar or wine. 2. Prep the pork: Butterfly the tenderloin by cutting lengthwise down one side (not all the way through), then the other side, until it opens flat. 3. Fill it up: Spread pesto inside, sprinkle with cheese, and add spinach if desired. Roll it back up and secure with toothpicks. Season the outside with salt and pepper. 4. Grill: Place the tenderloin on the soaked grill plank, set it on the grill, and close the lid. Cook 15–20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (pork safe temperature is 145°F, so remove it 5 degrees early). 5. Rest and serve: Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy. The Backyard Payoff The True Fire Cedar Grill Plank keeps the pork moist, adds a subtle sweetness, and fills the backyard with that irresistible cedar aroma. Kids devour it. Dogs beg shamelessly under the table. And the scent alone might have the neighbors wondering where that herby, garlicky, smoky goodness is coming from. Here’s to backyard feasts on a budget and the simple joy of cooking outdoors.
