1 Prepare the Ingredients
Heat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with foi. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Peel and mince shallot. Mince garlic. Cut roasted red peppers into 1/4" dice. Cut butcher’s twine into 6 pieces, 8" in length each. Rinse tenderloin and pat dry.
-
2 Butterfly the Tenderloin
Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal cut along the length of the tenderloin. Open the tenderloin as you go. Don’t cut all the way through the meat— it should open up like a book. Place the butterflied tenderloin on a large piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet or small pan, pound the meat until it is a uniform 1/4" thick. Discard plastic wrap and season tenderloin with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
3 Prepare the Stuffing
Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic, spinach, and roasted red peppers. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Add panko and Parmesan to the mix and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove stuffing from pan and allow to cool slightly.
-
4 Stuff and Cook the Tenderloin
Place tenderloin on the cutting board with long side facing you. Place stuffing on tenderloin and spread evenly to within 1/4" of the edges. Roll the tenderloin away from you, making sure to make a nice, tight roll. Once finished, position rolled tenderloin with the seam side down. Use twine to tie tenderloin at 6 evenly spaced intervals. Place tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 23-25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees is reached. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
-
5 Prep Orzo and Sauce
While tenderloin is roasting, bring a small pot with orzo and 1 3/4 cups of water to a boil. Reduce to a summer and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes over low heat until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside. Place shallots, tomato sauce, and cream in a small pan. Warm over medium heat until bubbling. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside warm until ready to serve.

6 Plate the Dish
Cut string from tenderloin with a sharp knife or scissors. Slice tenderloin into 3/4" rounds. Spoon Aurore sauce onto a plate and add a portion of orzo. Place sliced tenderloin over sauce and enjoy!
