What is the difference between Loin and Tenderloin?

Be careful when picking out your meat. Pork loin and pork tenderloin are two different cuts of meat. Pork loins are bigger and typically used for roasts, yielding a completely different texture. Tenderloin is smaller, longer, and a darker red than a pork loin. Tenderloins also cook faster than pork loins. Curious about where the different cuts of pork come from? Here is a graphic to help you out!

Choosing a Pork Tenderloin: Look for pork tenderloins with consistent marbling throughout. This will ensure that they are soft and tender and retain moisture in the cooking process. Pat Meat Dry: Always pat your meat dry before seasoning or adding the marinade. This helps the tenderloin become infused with flavor.Remove Silver Skin: Most tenderloin comes prepared with the silver skin removed, but if your cut is covered with a whitish-gray film, that means it still has the silver skin (connective tissue) attached. Simply pull with your fingers and run a small knife under the skin to remove it. It is important not to skip this step because silver skin, when cooked, can make the outside of your tenderloin tough and leathery.Be Careful Not to Overcook: Because of how lean tenderloin is, it can quickly become overcooked and dry. Be sure to check it often during the cooking process- you will know if it is done when it is mahogany to light brown in color with a soft pink inside, or the internal temperature is 145-150 degrees Fahrenheit.
