Ingredients
This recipe uses straightforward ingredients that come together to create a flaky, savory pork tenderloin dinner that’s perfect for entertaining or a cozy family meal.
- Phyllo dough
Phyllo dough creates the light, crispy exterior. Make sure it’s fully thawed before using. Puff pastry can be substituted, but phyllo gives a flakier, lighter result. - Butter
Butter adds richness and helps the phyllo bake up golden and crisp. - Olive oil
Olive oil is used alongside butter for sautéing and brushing the phyllo, which helps prevent burning. - Shallots
Shallots bring a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor. A small yellow onion works if you don’t have shallots. - Baby Portobello mushrooms
These add deep, savory flavor to the filling. White mushrooms or cremini mushrooms are good substitutes. - Fresh parsley
Parsley adds freshness and balances the richness of the dish. - Salt and pepper
Simple seasoning that enhances the mushroom mixture. - Garlic salt
This seasons the pork evenly while adding a subtle garlic flavor. - Thyme
Thyme pairs beautifully with pork and mushrooms. - Dried oregano
Oregano adds warmth and depth to the seasoning blend. - Paprika
Paprika adds color and a gentle smoky note. - Pork tenderloin
Pork tenderloin is lean, tender, and cooks quickly, making it ideal for wrapping in phyllo dough. - Seasoned breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs add texture between the phyllo layers and help absorb moisture. - Mushroom gravy
Mushroom gravy adds richness and makes this dish extra comforting. I prefer Heinz HomeStyle Mushroom Gravy, but any mushroom gravy will work.
How to Make Phyllo Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Gravy
This recipe comes together in a few steps, and once everything is prepped, the assembly is straightforward.
- Thaw one roll of phyllo dough according to package directions and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, salt, and pepper, and let cool.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic salt, thyme, oregano, and paprika. Rub the seasoning mixture over all sides of the pork tenderloin.
- Place the pork in a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes, turning once. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Melt the remaining butter and olive oil together in a small bowl. Unroll the phyllo sheets and keep them covered with plastic wrap and a slightly damp towel to prevent drying out.
- Layer 10 sheets of phyllo, brushing each sheet with the butter and oil mixture and sprinkling 1 teaspoon of breadcrumbs over each layer.
- Spread the mushroom mixture along one short edge of the phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border. Place the pork on top and loosely roll from the short edge, tucking in the ends.
- Place the phyllo-wrapped pork seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with the butter mixture, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and score the top into six sections.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Heat the mushroom gravy according to package directions and serve the phyllo pork tenderloin over the gravy.
Pro Tips from My Kitchen
One thing that always works for me is setting up my phyllo station before I start layering.
I keep the phyllo covered, the butter mixture nearby, and work slowly instead of rushing.
If a phyllo sheet tears, I don’t worry about it. I just add another layer since everything gets rolled up anyway.
Letting the pork cool slightly before wrapping is another important step.
It prevents steam from softening the phyllo and helps keep it crisp.
Serving Suggestions
I like serving Phyllo Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Gravy with simple sides so the main dish really shines.
Mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, or a crisp green salad are all great options.
For a holiday or dinner party, it pairs beautifully with roasted carrots or a creamy potato side.
Recipe Variations
Add a thin layer of Dijon mustard under the mushroom mixture for extra flavor.
Serve with pork gravy or a creamy herb sauce instead of mushroom gravy.
Stir finely chopped spinach into the mushroom mixture for extra color.
Slice the pork into medallions before wrapping for smaller portions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can assemble the phyllo pork tenderloin a few hours ahead and refrigerate it. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking.
Leftover pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I don’t recommend freezing it after baking because phyllo can lose its crisp texture. You can freeze the cooked pork separately if needed.
Pre-baking the pork helps it cook evenly inside the phyllo without over-browning the crust.
