Pork loin steak is a lean cut of meat obtained from the loin section of the pig, known for its tender texture and mild flavor. This cut is characterized by being juicy and versatile, ideal for a wide variety of culinary preparations, such as roasts, grilled, fried, or in stews.

Pork loin is a muscle that runs along the top of the pig, close to the spine, and is one of the most valued cuts for its low fat content and delicate texture. It is widely used in both traditional and modern cuisine due to its quick cooking time and its ability to pair well with different marinades, spices, and sauces.

Originating from pig farming common in many regions of the world, pork loin steak is especially popular in Latin American countries and Spain, where it is part of various typical recipes with local and international flavors.

Properties: It is an excellent source of high-quality protein and low in saturated fat compared to other pork cuts. It also provides B-complex vitamins, especially B1 (thiamine), B6, and niacin, which are essential for energy metabolism. Its content of minerals such as zinc and phosphorus contributes to bone health and the immune system.
