Best Italian Tenderloin Roulades Recipes

PORK TENDERLOIN "ROSA DI PARMA"

Steps:

• Combine sage, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Double butterfly the tenderloins, so they can be flattened, stuffed and rolled. To do that, you'll make two long horizontal cuts, one on each side, dividing the tenderloin in thirds without cutting all the way through (see Tip). Lay one tenderloin on a cutting board. Holding the knife blade flat, so it's parallel to the board, make a lengthwise cut into the side of the tenderloin one-third of the way down from the top, stopping short of the opposite edge so that the flaps remain attached. Rotate the tenderloin 180 degrees. Still holding the knife parallel to the cutting board, make a lengthwise cut into the side opposite the original cut, starting two-thirds of the way down from the top of the tenderloin and taking care not to cut all the way through. Open up the two cuts so you have a large rectangle of meat. Use the heel of your hand to gently flatten the meat to about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the second tenderloin.
• Cover each butterflied tenderloin with 2 prosciutto slices, then spread 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano over the prosciutto, leaving a 1-inch border. Starting with a long side, roll up each tenderloin so the stuffing is in a spiral pattern, then tie the roasts at 2-inch intervals with kitchen string.
• Lightly brush the roasts all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, then rub with the reserved herb mixture. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roasts, bending to fit if necessary, and cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast, checking often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the roasts to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, remove the string and cut the pork into 1-inch-thick slices.

TUSCAN TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in a large roasting pan.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute only. Off the heat, add the sage and rosemary and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, spread the turkey breast out on a cutting board, skin-side down. Sprinkle the meat with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. When the onion mixture is cool, spread it evenly on the meat. Distribute the grated butter on top. Place one layer of prosciutto on top of the butter to cover the meat completely. Starting at the left side of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down and the skin side up. Tie the roulade with kitchen twine at 1 1/2- to 2-inch intervals as tightly as possible to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip whole sage leaves underneath each tie of the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the turkey roulade, seam side down, on the prepared rack in the roasting pan. Pat the skin dry with paper towels, brush the skin all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup of water in the roasting pan (not over the turkey) and roast for between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. (This depends on how large the turkey breast is.) Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the pan juices.

PORK ROULADE WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE STUFFING AND MUSTARD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts onto a small sheet tray and place in the oven to toast, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set up a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Set up a large bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the broccoli rabe for 1 minute until bright green and tender, but still crisp. Remove from the boiling water and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove from the ice bath and use your hands to squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the broccoli rabe and add to a large bowl with the sausage, pine nuts, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Take a small amount of filling and cook a small tester patty to test for seasoning. Adjust the seasoning on the remaining raw mixture if needed.
• Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Cut the pork lengthwise to butterfly, then pound to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Place 4 slices of prosciutto over the caul fat, followed by the pounded pork loin on top of the prosciutto. Set half the broccoli rabe and sausage filling on top of the pork loin and shape into a thin log. Wrap the prosciutto and pork loin around the filling and roll into a tight log. Wrap the caul fat around the stuffed pork, cutting off any excess from the ends, making sure the caul fat is in one even layer around the pork. Tie with butcher's twine to secure and trim any excess string. Repeat with the remaining pork and filling.
• Heat a large saute pan with olive oil over high heat. Sear the roulades, turning on all sides, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a sheet tray and place into the oven and reserve the pan that the pork was cooked in. Roast the pork at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer registers 150 degrees F. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the string.
• Place the pan that the pork was cooked in back onto medium-high heat and drain off any remaining fat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and stir, making sure to scrape the bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until almost all of the liquid has reduced, then add half the chicken stock. Continue to cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the remaining chicken stock. Cook until slightly reduced then remove from heat.
• Slice the pork into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Plate alongside the mashed potatoes and a drizzle of sauce over the pork.
• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 to 2 inches and generously season with kosher salt. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Drain the potatoes and add back to the large saucepan. Using an electric hand mixer, mix the potatoes and gradually add the butter and warmed heavy cream, alternating, until the potatoes reach a creamy and silky consistency. You may not need to use all the heavy cream. Add the whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard and kosher salt to taste and mix thoroughly to combine. Makes 4 servings

CHEF JOHN'S BEEF ROULADEN

Steps:

• Place slices of beef on a work surface, Season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Spread one side with mustard. Place bacon strips on the mustard and sprinkle with paprika. Arrange onion slices cross-wise on the beef. Then evenly space 3 pickle slices across each slice of beef. Keep about an inch of the narrowest end of the beef slice free of toppings to facilitate rolling it up.
• Roll each slice of meat, beginning from the wider of the two short ends, working to keep all ingredients inside the roll. Rolls should be nice and tight. Secure the rolls (seam side down) with 3 loops of butcher's twine, one in the middle and one at each end. Trim excess string.
• Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Cook beef, turning and browning well on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove meat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt butter in the pan; whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute. Pour in cold beef broth and whisk vigorously to combine. Raise heat to medium-high and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute.
• Transfer beef rolls to pan along with accumulated juices. Reduce heat to very low. Simmer gently, covered, turning rolls every 20 minutes or so, until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. When the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted into the beef roll, the meat is done.
• Transfer meat to dish to allow it to rest. Raise heat to high and bring cooking liquid to a simmer to thicken slightly to make a gravy, about 1 minute. Serve rouladen with gravy.
