Tenderloins are such an intriguing cut of meat. They are cut from the rarely-used loin muscles of an animal, giving them a distinctive and supple texture. They can sometimes be overshadowed by other types of meat. We get it, a big juicy burger is great and we love grilled chicken breast just as much as the next meat-eater. But tenderloins deserve some love, too! We’ve gathered a list of some of our favorite tenderloins in Connecticut. Check them out:
