Caramelized Onion Stuffed Pork Loin With Crispy Onion Topping

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion and garlic in butter until translucent. Sprinkle sugar into skillet and stir. Cook for a few more minutes until onions turn golden brown. Stir in sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cool until lukewarm.

3. 3

   With a butcher knife, carefully butterfly the pork loin (DO NOT cut all the way through-only to 1 inch from the uncut edge). Open the pork loin and pound with a meat mallet to 1-inch thickness.

4. 4

   Once the caramelized onion stuffing has cooled, spread onto the flattened pork loin to 1 inch from the outside edge of the meat.

5. 5

   Roll loin up like a jellyroll. With kitchen string, tie off every 2-inches being careful not to squeeze the stuffing out of the center.

6. 6

   Rub outside of stuffed loin with Char Crust spice rub (or your substitution if you do not have this rub).

7. 7

   Place loin in a roasting pan. Top with sliced onion and drizzle with olive oil.

8. 8

   Roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until cooked through or until meat thermometer registers 160u00b0F.

9. 9

   Remove from oven and allow meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into 1 1/2 inch slices and serve.
