Juicy Stuffed Pork with Fig Butter and Prosciutto

This stuffed pork loin recipe is filled with complimentary flavors. The sweetness of the figs, earthy rosemary, and salty prosciutto add richness to the mild flavor of pork loin roast. It comes out super moist and tender thanks to the buttery stuffing mixture—it keeps the pork from drying out as it cooks. It’s one of my favorite pork recipes for a dinner party or the holiday season!

This is a great recipe for someone trying to branch out into more adventurous dishes but wanting to build up their repertoire. This easy dinner takes just a few simple steps to turn into the perfect dinner. After using a food processor to make the fig butter, you’ll use a meat tenderizer to pound the pork flat, add the filling, wrap in kitchen twine, and bake! It sounds far more intensive than it is. 

You can use fresh figs if they’re in season, but don’t forget about the beauty of dried fruit! Dried figs have just as much flavor as fresh–especially since we’re using them to add just a little sweetness to the pork filling.

What I love about this recipe is that you can prep it ahead of time and put it in the `oven to finish cooking once it gets closer to dinner time. Serve it alongside sweet potatoes and a fresh spinach salad for a balanced meal. 

Why This Is The Best Pork Tenderloin Recipe

• Delicious Filling – A custom butter made with dried figs, rosemary, and whole garlic cloves keeps the pork moist as it cooks. 
• Easy Peasy – Just five easy steps and 40 minutes in the oven until dinner is served. 
• Super Tender – Pork roast is already a tender cut of meat, but using a meat mallet to pound it, the butter, and letting it rest makes for a fork-tender dinner.

How To Stuff a Pork Tenderloin

Step One: Make Fig Butter

​Add butter, figs, rosemary, and garlic to a food processor and pulse until it becomes a chunky paste.

Step Two: Pound Pork

Use a sharp knife to make a long cut through the pork tenderloin and open it until it lies flat. Apply a piece of plastic wrap to the pork and pound with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness on both sides.

Step Three: Assemble

Season both sides with salt and pepper and lay the prosciutto across the pork then spoon the butter on top. Bring both sides together and secure with twine. 

Step Four: Sear and Bake

Sear the pork on all sides for about 5 minutes then put it in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 135º to 140º. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step Five: Slice and Serve

Let the pork rest. Slice and serve with any remaining fig butter. 

How Do I Know When Pork Is Done?

Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145º. I recommend always using a meat thermometer to make sure that your pork doesn’t overcook!

Tips For Making This Delicious Pork Recipe

• Meat continues to cook after it’s removed from the heat, so always remove it about 5 degrees before its cooked. 
• Sear pork until golden brown before roasting in the oven. It adds flavor and color to the final dish. 
• When roasting meat, let it come to room temperature before cooking. This will make it less likely to dry out!
