1/4 cup chopped shallots

1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

3 chopped walnuts, toasted

2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare grill to medium heat. Slice tenderloin lengthwise, cutting to, but not through, other side. Open halves, laying tenderloin flat.
2. Place tenderloin between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy skillet. Sprinkle shallots, cheese, walnuts, and thyme on tenderloin. Roll up, starting with long side; secure tenderloin at 1-inch intervals with twine.
