It seems like whenever people say "pork tenderloin" there is always confusion with "pork loin", which are much larger than atypical very lean 1lb tenderloin and require a different cooking method.......

What's a good flavoring agent for a marinade or rub? I prefer pork loin over pork tenderloin, but they always turn out kind of blah.

I love pork tenderloin grilled outdoors with just salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Or you can use a bottled, prepared teriyaki sauce. Pork is also good "sweet and fruity"; you could try mixing a little orange marmalade, dijon mustard, and soy sauce and spooning some of this over the pork for just the last few minutes of grilling. You can grill a whole pork loin too if you cook it slowly over low heat or cut it into serving-size pieces before grilling.

A favorite winter recipe is a whole pork loin cooked in the slow cooker. Sear the loin on all sides in a little oil, then put it in your slow cooker with a package of dry onion soup mix and a can of whole-berry cranberry sauce sprinkled/spread over it. Add about a half-cup of water and simmer till tender -- low or high heat, depending on how long you have to cook it. Very, very tasty and very, very EASY!

Roasted with carrots, parsnips and onions. Pork has never been my favorite, but I made it for my daddy and enjoyed it. The recipe Gloria posted looks delicious!!!

Make sure you buy the tenderloin, not the loin. They are quite petite. Roll them in Herbs de Provence and roast in oven, 425 for 15-20 minutes. Recipe is from Pioneer Woman's blog.

Bit my tongue yesterday when I read this topic. That always does seem to happen, doesn't it? (but did copy some of them for the loin)
