Pork Tenderloin

The pork tenderloin can be found in most supermarkets, often in pairs. The tenderloin is perfect for slow cooking in the oven, broiling, grilling over hot coals, or barbecuing over low heat. The tenderloin is a juicy cut of meat, very lean and lends itself well to seasoning.

As the tenderloin is low in fat, this cut of pork is considered very healthy, rivaling the chicken breast as one of the leanest meats available. The tenderloin can be marinated, rubbed and seasoned generously as the meat has less flavor on its on than fattier cuts. The loin can be cut into individual medallions and prepared like a great steak, whether pan-seared, pan roasted, broiled or grilled.
