description BBQ Pork Tenderloin Overview
BBQ pork tenderloin is a preparation built around the tenderloin, a long, lean muscle from the pig that contains little internal fat. The meat is commonly seasoned or marinated, then grilled, barbecued, or smoked and sliced for serving; because the cut is lean and relatively small, it cooks more quickly than larger pork roasts and can dry out if overcooked. The dish suits cooks who want a relatively fast barbecue preparation with a mild-tasting pork cut rather than a long-cooked, heavily marbled cut.
