Pork loin is one of the cheapest meats and is often sold at a premium. Despite its relatively cheap price, it can be one of the tastiest meat dishes when cooked properly. Pork loin becomes tender and juicy after being baked for a long time in the oven. Serve with, for example, fried potatoes and bearnaise sauce.
