Pork tenderloins are super lean and cook really fast. If you’re looking for a change from a boneless, skinless chicken breast this is a good cut to try. Make sure to use a good amount of salt when you’re seasoning the tenderloin to ensure you get as much flavor as possible, and watch the time and temperature of the meat while you’re cooking it – as with any lean meat pork tenderloins can dry out if left on the heat for too long.
