                                <li>1 (1¼ lbs) pork tenderloin, trimmed</li>
                                            <li>½ cup pitted kalamata olives</li>
                                            <li>1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)</li>
                                            <li>1 tsp  Italian seasoning</li>
                                            <li>About 2 feet kitchen twine</li>
                                            <li>½ tsp  fine sea salt</li>
                                            <li>¼ tsp ground black pepper</li>
                                            <li>1 tbsp salted butter</li>
                            </ul>

    <h2 class="block-title"><span>Directions</span></h2>

                            <li>Butterfly the pork tenderloin: Keeping your knife parallel to the cutting board, make a cut down the middle of one side of the tenderloin, going only halfway through the circumference. (Do not cut all the way through.) Open the tenderloin like a book so that the cut side faces up.</li>
                                    <li>Blend the olives, olive oil, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning together until it forms a paste. Spread along the inside of the pork.</li>
                                    <li>Starting with one of the long sides, roll the tenderloin up into a log, like a pinwheel. Using kitchen twine, tie the tenderloin together and knot at both ends. Season all sides of the tenderloin with the salt and pepper.</li>
                                    <li>Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe frying pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin for 2 minutes on one side, turn to sear for 2 minutes on two more sides. Turn the tenderloin one more time, then transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear.</li>
