Pork tenderloin comes from the full pork loin. It is the tenderest cut of pork. It’s the same cut of beef that’s referred to as the beef filet, one of the most popular steaks in restaurants. A pork tenderloin usually weighs between 3/4 pounds to 1.5 pounds. They usually come two to a pack at grocery stores.

Prok tenderloin is mild flavored and lean. For this reason, pork tenderloin is best when marinaded and seasoned well.

My Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin has a earthy, complex flavor. Molasses adds a sweetness while still adding a richness and, in my opinion, is  a great ingredient with pork.

This marinade also has oil that keeps the tenderloin from drying out.
