HOW TO COOK PORK LOIN?
Pork loin is lean and mild-tasting so it pairs well with almost anything you pair with it. The tenderloin gets cooked fairly quickly while a loin roast is larger and takes a bit more time. Tenderloin can be sliced before cooking and sauteed for an even quicker meal. Try slow-cooking pork loin, roasting or throwing it on the grill. The pork loin recipes below should give you some great ideas.
HOW TO SEASON PORK LOIN?
Regardless of which loin cut you choose, you should season liberally with both salt and pepper just before cooking. This really helps bring out the flavor of the meat.
