Pork tenderloin, often referred to as the "filet mignon" of pork, is a top-notch cut known for its tenderness and lean texture. Sourced from the muscle that runs along the backbone, it is prized for its delicate flavor and lack of fat. This cut is incredibly versatile, lending itself well to a variety of cooking methods, including grilling, roasting, and sautéing. Pork tenderloin cooks relatively quickly due to its size and tenderness, making it a perfect choice for a quick yet elegant meal. Its mild taste makes it an excellent canvas for a wide array of seasonings and marinades, allowing chefs and home cooks alike to get creative with flavors. Whether served as the star of a dinner party or as a simple weeknight meal, pork tenderloin is sure to impress with its succulence and taste.
Pork Tenderloin is NOT to be confused with Pork Loin. This is a rarely used muscle, which means its SUPER tender. There are roughly 2 lbs of tenderloin per hog.
