Pork Tenderloin (Herb Crusted) image

Don't confuse this pork tenderloin with a pork loin roast, as they are 2 different cuts of meat. A pork tenderloin is smaller than a pork loin roast. For those of you who shop at Costco, the pork tenderloins come packaged 2 per package in their fresh meat department. If you have any questions e-mail me: [email protected]
