Pork tenderloin

Pork tenderloin

The pork tenderloin is a cut of pork. It is often sold as pre-packaged products by large grocery stores, they are available plain (not seasoned), and flavored with a marinade.

As with all quadrupeds, the tenderloin refers to the Psoas major muscle along the central spine portion, which more or less hangs between the shoulder blade and hip socket. This is the most tender part of the animal, because the muscles that support the inner organs are not used for locomotion.
