tenderloins
Lean meat portions
Tenderloins are cuts of meat from the most tender part of an animal, typically a strip of muscle running along the spine of beef or pork.
Pork tenderloin is a lean, cylindrical cut often roasted whole.
Beef tenderloin yields filet mignon steaks.
The tenderloin district of a city is its vice-ridden area—supposedly where corrupt police could afford tender cuts.
