Meat
Boneless
Boneless loin is the eye removed as a clean cylinder or split pair—fast to cook, easy to slice into medallions, perfect for weeknight premium dinners. Very lean once fat is trimmed; do not overcook. Sear and finish gently; or cut medallions and pan-sauce quickly. Wrap in bacon or caul for basting if desired. Rest briefly—carryover is real on small roasts. Herb crusts adhere well to patted-dry surfaces.
