Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add chopped onions with a pinch of salt, and sauté until caramelized (30-40 minutes).
  3. Add spinach to the skillet, cook until wilted (2-3 minutes), then stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing lengthwise, stopping about ½ inch from cutting through, and open like a book.
  5. Season the inside of the pork with salt and pepper, spread cranberry sauce, then add spinach-onion mixture and goat cheese.
  6. Roll the tenderloin tightly, secure with kitchen twine, and season the exterior with salt and pepper.
  7. Roast the pork in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140-145°F (60-63°C).
  8. Let the pork rest for about 20 minutes in the oven before slicing and serving with additional cranberry sauce.
