How to Prep Pork Roulade
Start by measuring out all dry ingredients: Vegeta, Mrs. Dash seasoning, garlic powder, dry parsley, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir together and set aside until ready for use.
Next, butterfly the pork by taking each piece of pork loin and first cutting it in half to check 4 chunks. Next, slice each chunk into two sheets or strips that are about ¼ inch thick using a sharp knife. You’ll end up with 8 thin sheets of meat.
Then place all the meat into a bowl and season them with the prepared seasoning mix. Allow it to marinate for at least 4 hours.
Time to roll them up! Work with one sheet at a time. Lay out a sheet on a cutting board or clean the working surface. Using a meat mallet beat one side of the sheet to make it somewhat flatter. You can also cover it with plastic wrap first.
Then roll it up tightly and tie both ends with butcher twine. Repeat this process with the remaining meat.
How to Bake Pork Roulade
Transfer all meat rolls onto a roasting pan or baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Make sure to place them seam-side down.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F (204 C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until golden in color.
Remove from the oven and cool the rolls to room temperature before transferring them into an airtight container.
Store rolls unsliced in the refrigerator in the container covered with a lid until needed. Slice right before serving. Your delicious Pork Roulade is ready to be served!
