Ingredients

3 lbs Pork Loin
4 Yellow onions
2 cups Shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup Beef broth
1 stick Unsalted butter
5 tbsp Garlic and herb seasoning

Instructions

Horizontally slice down the middle of the loin without slicing all the way though. Go down the loin until the log is fully butterflied. Open it up like a book and lay if flat.
Cover it with a piece of plastic wrap and pound it down until the final thickness is about 1/2 inch.
Slice up 4 yellow onions and throw them in a large saucepan with a stick of butter and cook over low heat. Mix occasionally .
Add some beef stock to provide liquid for further sautéing until the onions are brown and tender.
Season the butterflied pork with 2 tbsp's of the garlic and herb seasoning.
Add a layer of shredded Gruyere cheese leaving some behind for later use. Top the cheese with the sautéed onions leaving 1/2 cup for later use.
To roll the loin shut, start from one end and slowly roll down to the other side making sure to keep in all the oniony goodness. To secure the roll, use 4-5 strips of butcher twine and tie sections on the pork log tight.
Preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set for indirect heat. Place the pork loin onto a wire rack and place in the grill.
When the pork reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees, top it off with the remaining cheese and onions.
Total grill time should be around 45 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees.
