Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a work surface, place the pork tenderloin and butterfly it open. Put it between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a rolling pin. The goal is to flatten it as much as possible without going through. Set aside.
In a large pan heated over medium, add the leek and garlic and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring.
Add the sausage meat and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the meat is cooked. Break the meat into small pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool 5 minutes.
Add the cream cheese, the Italian seasoning, season with salt and pepper and mix. Spread the mixture over the pork tenderloin all the way to the edges, roll tightly and tie with butcher’s twine every 2 inches.
In the same pan heated over medium-high, pour a good amount of oil and brown the pork tenderloin on all sides, about 7 to 8 minutes total. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place the pork on the baking sheet.
In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and mix. Brush the pork tenderloin with the sauce and place in the oven. Cook for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 °F (65 °C). Let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving!
