Donna's Dish of the Week! Pork Tenderloin
Pork Tenderloin is the entrée at Oliver’s on Wednesday. Did you know that pork tenderloin is often referred to as “The Other White Meat”? We often think of pork as unhealthy and overly processed. Not so with this cut of pork! This is because it has similar low-fat, high protein, high nutrient properties as chicken and turkey breast. Don’t believe me? Check out this comparison of a 3-ounce serving.
Pork Tenderloin: 125 calories, 3.4 grams fat, 62 mg cholesterol, 48 mg sodium.
Chicken Breast: 126 calories, 2.9 grams fat, 90 mg cholesterol, 183 mg sodium.
Turkey Breast: 125 calories, 5.1 grams fat, 63 mg cholesterol, 54 mg sodium.
It’s all in the preparation! The way Oliver’s roasts their pork tenderloin allows for excess fat to slowly drain while cooking. This removes some fat while maintaining moisture to avoid drying out and preserving the tender, juicy taste we all love!
So, go ahead. Taste it for yourself! Enjoy the healthy side of pork this Wednesday at Oliver’s!
