Ingredients

ONIONS

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup beef broth

PORK LOIN

  • 1 center-cut pork loin, about 3 pounds
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded gruyere cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.

Onions

  • In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.
  • Add butter, onions, and beef broth and cook until the onions are browned and tender (approximately 15-20 minutes). Transfer cooked onions to a bowl and tent to keep warm.

Pork Loin

  • Butterfly the pork. With the pork on a cutting board, hold a knife blade parallel to the board and carefully make a lengthwise cut about 1/3 of the way from the bottom, stopping about 1 inch from the opposite end, being careful not to cut through.
  • Open the loin like a book.
  • Make a second cut on the thick side of the pork loin, horizontal with the first cut. Do not cut all the way through, stop about 1 inch from the opposite edge. Fold that edge over making one long cut of pork loin.
  • Cover the entire cut of meat with plastic wrap and pound to an even ⅓ inch thickness.
  • In a small bowl, combine oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Rub over both sides of pork loin.
  • Top the pork loin with half of the cooked onions and half of the shredded cheese.
  • Tightly roll the pork loin to completely enclose all of the fillings.
  • Using cooking twine, tightly secure the roll.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the pork loin to the pan and sear on all sides (about 5 minutes on each side). Turning the loin a total of 4 times.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Occasionally baste the pork loin with the pan juices.
  • Increase oven temperature to broil. Top pork loin with remaining cheese and onions and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
  • Add parsley for garnish.
  • Slice and serve warm.
