Pork tenderloin is a classic dish that my family loves for either an easy weeknight meal or cozy Sunday dinner. It's hearty and perfect for the cold weather months. It's also a great option to serve on a special occasion or holiday.
A pork tenderloin is a long and lean cut of meat that is near the back bone. This tender cut of meat is less fatty and smaller than a pork loin. It can be prepared different ways, such as in the slow cooker, oven roasted, grilled or even smoked!
