Pork tenderloin, also called pork fillet, pork steak[1] or Gentleman's Cut, is a long thin cut of pork.
As with all quadrupeds, the tenderloin refers to the psoas major muscle along the central spine portion, ventral to the lumbar vertebrae. This is the most tender part of the animal, because these muscles are used for posture, rather than locomotion.
