The Leanest Cut

Pork tenderloin comes from the sirloin (the back part of the loin) and is the leanest and most tender cut of pork. It’s a meat that’s very compatible with many flavors and popular in a number of cuisines. Because pork tenderloin is so lean, it’s important not to overcook. Cook it to 145 degrees F or until the pork has a pink tint. Let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes to reabsorb the juices.
