• STEP-BY-STEP
• Stuffing and Tying a Tenderloin
• Insert chef's knife about 1 inch from bottom of roast and cut horizontally, stopping just before edge. Open meat like a book.
• Make another cut diagonally into thicker portion of roast. Open up this flap, smoothing out butterflied rectangle of meat.
• Spread filling evenly over entire surface, leaving 1/2-inch border on all sides. Press spinach leaves evenly on top of filling.
• Using both hands, gently but firmly roll up stuffed tenderloin, making it as compact as possible without squeezing out filling.
• Evenly space 8 pieces kitchen twine (each about 14 inches) beneath roast. Tie each strand tightly around roast, starting with ends.
