RUBBED & GRILLED STUFFED TENDERLOIN Rub |
At least 6 hours before cooking, prepare the rub for the tenderloin. Add all of the ingredients except the garlic, to a small grinder and blitz until well ground. Add the garlic.
Rub this mixture vigorously in to the meat. Cover and let rest for 6 -12 hours.
Place the oil in a skillet and heat. Add shallots, fennel and red pepper and sauté for 5 minutes until slightly tender. Add the spinach and toss to wilt. Place in a bowl and into the fridge to cool. Once cool add blue cheese and mix to make a stuffing.
Preheat the grill to high
Using a knife, make a pocket in the center of the tenderloin. Slide knife in one side, twist and then do the same on the other side to create a hole all the way through the center. Stuff the tenderloin.
Oil the grill and place the stuffed tenderloin on the high heat to sear for 5 minutes or until a nice crust has developed on the outside of the meat. Reduce the heat to medium high and continue to cook for 15 minutes until desired doneness.
