Prized for its tenderness, pork tenderloin’s mild flavor partners well with sweet and savory ingredients from apples and herbs to peanuts and peppers, and it works well for weeknights and dinner parties. Cook it whole, slice into medallions, butterfly and stuff it, or use strips in a stir-fry. It’s also delicious grilled, roasted, or simply seared.
