"like the fat cap on a butt, except without all that unnecessary actual meat"....no. just no.
What goes with it? A nice hot bowl of beef tallow with pats of butter floating in it?
Now, I gotta eat a beef or porktenderloin to get the thought of this out of my mind. :D
I agree. We're pork people way more than beef people relative to smoking. Pork ribs are incredible!! And pork butt!!!
I love big butts, and I cannot lie!
I'm here to testify! I'll smoke 'em 'til I die!
For us, the epitome of bbq'd beef, either grilled or smoked, is a prime, aged beef...
The large muscle on a bone-in (center cut) pork chop is the loin, and the small muscle is the tenderloin. Just like a T-bone or Porterhouse steak on a beef.
Good link that covers all pork chop cuts: https://www.thekitchn.com/a-complete-guide-to-pork-chops-meat-basics-208638
Dry curing vs...
Here is a thread from one of great members...although I believe he is now into competition shooting and around much anymore.

I really like cured smoked loin/chop that is finished on a hot plate/pan when it's time to eat.
I'll definitely give the dry cure a shot for loins. I'm really enjoying them over pork belly bacon in BLTs.
Thanks surprised how easy it is.
Thank you
Hadn’t thought about that. Think I’ll pick up a porktenderloin at Costco and slice it up and try it. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks sure is simple and easy
Not really smoked, not really grilled, but kind of middle of the road. Indirect heat while it takes on some apple smoke, until around 145 then direct heat to finish it off, Took it to 160 IT same as they did at the recent American Royal BBQ Dry Rub Competition, I wanted to semi recreate there...
...in. Mama found this "unique "sauce in the BBQ aisle at Publix. Sweet heat peach bbq sauce.
I ought it would make a good glaze for a porktenderloin. I had some Tony's garlic and herb injection, even though a porktenderloin doesn't need it for tenderness. Break out the kettle, two zone with...
Thanks Mike . Yup , me either . Plus it gives you something different .
That's a fact . Back when Covid hit I started buying and breaking down beef primals . Some are straight forward , but others you have options on the cuts you end up with .
That's what I had as a kid , but cut into chops ...
I've done a few things over the years wrapping in bacon - jalapenos, shotgun shells, porktenderloin. I prefer thin sliced since I think it crisps easier. But the bacon I used for the last batch of texas twinkies I did (Costco Kirkland Low Sodium) didn't turn out so good. The bacon was about...
Interesting...
I figured someone would say there was a recipe to cure it... Though, I guess that's sort of a sacrilege with a tenderloin. The only recipe I've ever done with these was America's Test Kitchen's Horseradish Crusted Beef Tenderloin. Up until this one, I always bought them at the...
...off with Coppardo and melon appetizer..
Made the Cream of Cabbage and Shrimp Soup. (served with the meal)
My friend Grilled the porktenderloin. While everyone pitched in on the sides. Cooked to perfection. Pulled them @138-140*F; let rest 10 minutes tent with foil (rise to 145*F)...
Had some great eats in my first and only trip to Philly a while ago. Two places on my bucket list were Morimoto and Johns Roast Pork. While Morimoto was awesome, it was the roast pork sandwich I kept craving. Decided to just make my own. Around New Years bone in pork loin roasts are super...
Same here, two of us, but we stock up, vacuum up, freeze it up. Denver suberbs are a solid 45 minute drive, so it nice to be self sufficient. If winter comes this year, Im sure we will get snowed in with a power outage at some point. Back up generator and Starlink make it feel like nothing is...
