Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite meat portions and one of my must-have items whenever I do my grocery.
Not only is it one of the leanest meat cuts available, but it is also nearly as low in saturated fat as chicken breasts.
Another thing about this pork tenderloin is that it is an excellent and versatile choice in terms of cooking meat dishes. Perfect for stir-fry, roasting, baking, and grilling. Now, let’s go back to the creamy part. I am a confessed gourmet cook. I love food experimenting and am not afraid to try different cooking methods in my quest to learn and enhance my cooking skills and repertoire. Over the years, my selection of food recipes has grown immensely.
I have recipes particularly dedicated to cast iron cooking. One of them is the Crispy Carnitas recipe that I have already shared and posted here.
