The Cuban Sammy Stuffed Pork Loin is a delicious and indulgent main dish that draws inspiration from the classic Cuban sandwich.

The result is a mouth-watering dish that is sure to impress guests and delight your taste buds. Serve with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.Season the butterflied pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
3.In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4.Saute the pork until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
5.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, oregano, minced garlic, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
6.In a separate large bowl, soak the cuban bread cubes in milk until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
7.Add the soaked bread cubes, fresh parsley, minced garlic, and grated swiss cheese to the bowl with the olive oil mixture, and stir to combine.
8.Lay the flattened pork tenderloins side-by-side on a cutting board, and top each with 8 pickle slices, 4 slices of baked ham, and 4 slices of provolone cheese.
9.Spoon the bread stuffing mixture on top of the ham and cheese, spreading it evenly across both tenderloins.
10.Roll up the tenderloins tightly, tucking in the stuffing as you go.
11.Season the outside of the rolled tenderloins with salt and pepper.
12.Place the rolled tenderloins in a baking dish, and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
13.Allow the stuffed pork loin to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
