Pork tenderloin, also called pork fillet,[1] pork steak[2] or Gentleman's Cut, is a long, thin cut of pork.
As with all quadrupeds, the tenderloin refers to the psoas major muscle[3] along the central spine portion, ventral to the lumbar vertebrae, the most tender part of the animal, because those muscles are used for posture rather than locomotion.
Products and uses[edit]
In some countries, such as the United States and the Netherlands ('varkenshaas'), pork tenderloin can be bought as a processed product, already flavored with a marinade. A regional dish of the Midwestern United States is a pork tenderloin sandwich,[4] also called a tenderloin – a very thinly sliced piece of pork, which is the larger, tougher loineye - or longissimus - muscle, which is battered or breaded, deep fried, and served on a small bun,[4] often with garnishes such as mustard, pickle and onions. This sandwich is relatively common and popular in the U.S. Midwest, especially in the states of Iowa and Indiana.[5] In the southern states, tenderloin is often prepared as a breakfast biscuit, typically with egg or cheese.[citation needed] It is quite common for pork tenderloin to be used as an alternative to beef tenderloin[according to whom?] as it can be just as tender but costs significantly less.
In popular culture[edit]
Alton Brown's television show Good Eats includes an episode titled "Tender is the Pork" about pork tenderloin.[6]
