Pork tenderloin is one of our favorite cuts for making a range of delicious meals. These recipes turn pork tenderloin into everything from a zesty breakfast treat in our Peppery Pork Biscuits to a bacon-wrapped delight in the Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Strawberries. If you prefer your pork tenderloin on the spicy side, you’ll savor our Caribbean Pork with Butter Pea Toss, or the Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Blueberry Salsa. For a true taste of the South, you can’t beat the crunch of pecans on a pork tenderloin cutlet, or grilled pork tenderloin and squash, and you’ll find recipes for both here. So carve up one of our favorite Southern treats, and enjoy the flavors of pork tenderloin in any of these wonderful recipes.
