venison tenderloin/blue cheese stuffing

[tukudu]

If you have a taste for blue cheese you have to try the following"

1. prepare a 6 inch full tenderloin making sure the sinew is removed from sides.
2. carefully sliced down the full length of the tenderloin creating an even pocket its full length.
3. sprinkle crumbled blue cheese the entire lenght of the pocket and then either wrap with string or stitch with long wooden skewer.
4. lightly salt both sides and cover with ground pepper, again light coating.
5. squirt some low sodium soy sauce on bottom of dish and dredge both sides and place in refrigerator until you are ready.

Cook over the stove after placing virgin olive in pan. Make sure it is hot as you want to sear both sides quickly. Keep turning until brown on the outside and med rare in center. If you can get away with medium rare all the better. The blue cheese will gradually melt.

6. take out of pan and remove skewer or string and slice into 1/2 slices through the whole loin.

Let me know how you like it. Enjoy.

Tom,
 That sounds great and I love blue cheese. The only think I would do different is wrap bacon around it and grill it. In Texas you might even find a jalapeno pepper hidden inside it.

Pork, the other white meat.

MMMMMMM, this was delicious. I didn't have any tenderloin(for understandable reasons), but used some chops. Absolutely mouth watering, thanks for sharing.

I have been doing a variation of this for years.  I just poke a hole long ways into the loin and stuff with blue cheese.  Then wrap in bacon and grill on high to burn the bacon then low till rare/medium rare.  Awesome good.

Merry Christmas Tradgang Chefs, I made this recipe today and it was a smash hit with my family.  It fell apart and the cheese leaked out, but it was still absolutely delicious.

Merry Christmas and bon apetit!

Folks,
    i am glad you are all enjoying this quick dish. I like the suggestion for the cracked pepper and I need to try Bob Urbans poke the hole technique as the string leakage problem takes away from the dish. I also need to try a little halapeno as that sounds way too good.

  If you like that dish you have to try to blue the blue cheese burger. I use straight venison and bought one of those three dollar white plastic hamburger patty makers. Just lay out ground burgrer on the freezer paper and press down pretty flat then sprinkle a bunch of blue cheese crumbs on top of the burger fold and form into a ball trying to keep the blue chees inside the burger. Don't try to cheat with blue cheese dressing you need the real deal.Put into the patty maker and then hit the grill. I serve these on a bun with hamburger relish and ketchup. It transforms plain hamburger into a whole other dimension. We have these once a week on the grill and they are a big hit.
