Lay the tenderloins open and flat on a board in front of you. Season each loin evenly all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Lay 3 slices of provolone on each loin.

Magnificent! The flavors are perfect. I made this for Father’s Day, along with Giada’s Baked Caprese Crostini. We loved it all! I’m going to make it again the next time we have a dinner party.
Made this for a dinner party and EVERYONE loved this. Two of the guests (men), said this was the best pork, they had ever tasted. Try it and it will be one of your new favorites.
