Amazingly Delicious (and Easy!) Pork Tenderloin Recipes

Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite cuts of pork. It doesn’t take long to cook, making it a superb choice for easy weeknight dinners, it’s lean but with just enough fat to remain moist and tender (hence the name), and is delicious hot or cold (try sliced pork tenderloin in a French baguette packed with arugula and a good Dijon mustard and you’ve got yourself a quick and delicious lunch!). Check out some of these delish pork tenderloin recipes - from a simple Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin that is ready in minutes to a Korean-spiced version that’s served atop hot rice and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
