  • 1 Heat oven to 450°F. Butterfly the tenderloin until it is laid out flat. Place the butterflied tenderloin between large pieces of plastic wrap. With a meat tenderizer,pound tenderloin until 1/4-inch thickness.
  • 2 Season the tenderloin on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chorizo down the center of the tenderloin, patting it down, and leaving about 2 inches on all sides of the chorizo. Roll up the tenderloin. Truss the tenderloin with kitchen string.
  • 3 Heat a large sauté pan to high heat. Pour in the oil. Place the trussed tenderloin in the hot oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides evenly, until the bottom has a browned crust.
  • 4 Slide the skillet into the hot oven. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until an internal temperature of 160°F has been achieved.
  • 5 Remove trussing; slice the tenderloin on a bias. Place the pieces on a platter. Drizzle the tenderloin with marmalade. Serve immediately.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

- Use your favorite marmalade or chutney (warm the topping) to drizzle over the tenderloin before serving. - Butterfly – “to split a food (meat” down the center, cutting almost, but not completely through. The two halves are then opened flat to resemble a butterfly shape.” (Food Lover’s Companion – Herbst and Herbst) - Truss – “ to secure meat with string, pins or skewers so the food maintains a compact shape during cooking.” (Food Lover’s Companion – Herbst and Herbst) - Sear – “to brown meat quickly by subjecting it to very hight heat either in a skillet, under a broiler or in a very hot oven. The object of searing is to seal in the meat’s juices.” (Food Lover’s Companion – Herbst and Herbst)

AMAZING! I made this the other night for dinner and both my wife and I thought it was incredible. It's definitely a low effort high output meal for something this tasty. Throw some steamed veggies on the side and it's a meal. I will certainly be making this again, especially if I ever want to impress some friends or family.
