Pork tenderloin
Description
Pork tenderloin is the most delicate and lean cut of meat from the carcass, with a light pink hue, firm fibers, and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It has a subtle texture that absorbs marinades and spices well, ensuring it remains juicy and tender after a short cooking process. It works well in the form of medallions, steaks, roasts, cutlets, or sous-vide dishes, and pairs perfectly with herbs (rosemary, thyme), mustard, fruits like apple or plum, and creamy or wine-based sauces. As a source of high-quality protein, tenderloin provides B vitamins (B1, B3, B6, B12), iron, and zinc with relatively low fat content, supporting muscle building and energy metabolism. Store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0–4°C and consume within 2–3 days, or for longer storage, wrap it tightly and freeze at −18°C (for several months), thawing slowly in the refrigerator.
