Preparation

   Cut the cleaned whole tenderloin lengthwise down the middle to open it out. Brush 2 tbsp olive oil well over the outside and inside of the tenderloin. Spread half a tbsp rosemary and 1 tsp sage over the opened inside of the tenderloin. Insert the 3 whole garlic cloves into various spots in the tenderloin. Keep the tenderloin like this in the fridge for 1 hour. Sauté the onion, crushed garlic, red bell pepper, leeks and mushrooms in 2 tbsp olive oil until the onion and leeks are very soft. Add soy sauce, salt and black pepper and sauté 2 more minutes.

   Put this mixture inside the tenderloin. Fold the two opened ends over one another and secure with toothpicks. Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C for about 45 minutes. Remove the toothpicks from the cooked tenderloin, slice and serve.
