4
Remove silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Cut a slit all the way down the long end of the tenderloin, without cutting all the way through.
5
Open the tenderloin like a book, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap, and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until 1/2 inch thick.
6
Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the surface of the tenderloin, leaving 1/2 inch at the borders.
7
Roll the tenderloin tightly, starting with the long end, and secure the roulade with 6-7 toothpicks, ensuring they're parallel to create a flat cooking surface.
8
Season the pork tenderloin all over with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
9
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Place the tenderloin in the skillet (toothpick-side-down), and sear for about 2 minutes per side, or 6-8 minutes total.
10
Transfer the skillet with the tenderloin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145-150°F in the thickest part of the meat.
11
Remove the tenderloin from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing into rings.
12
Brush the sliced tenderloin with pan drippings for extra flavor, and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
