One of my favorite pork cut is the tenderloin. The main reason why is that is tender and cooks fast. As I do with any other protein, the first step is to clean whatever fat is visible and then season it really well. Notice that I am not saying with salt and pepper; I leave that only for my file mignon. Instead, I use different flavors containing a variety of spices such as Adobo, my own dry rub or I add a mix of any other spices I feel like at the moment, just like I did today. Try it!
