I saw these for the first time today at Smart & Final. Several in a
cryovac, each about the size of those small pork tenderloins. At $1.39/lb
it sounded like a nice cut to marinate (and, coincidently, we happened to
have a surplus of garlic and not-so-great zinfandel in the house). Based
on the marbling and the low price. they look like a good cut for BBQ rather
than grilling.

Has anyone else worked with/heard of this cut?

I recently got my BBQ back after the wife's new backyard remodel made enough
progress to put the Kamado in its new spot. While those pork sirloins
marinate, I'm cooking 2 12 lb briskets and 2 slabs of ribs.

I'll probably cook the pork sirloins low and slow tomorrow, and then turn up
the heat and cook a nice beef sirloin roast.

Some of the food will be for the neighbors who loaned us their parking
passes while the new driveway was under construction (part of the remodel -
all new concrete), some of the food will be for my colleagues at the office
who have missed my cooking, and some will be for ME.

Yes, I have purchased a couple of roasts of this cut from
Trader Joes. They were small -- something like 2 pounds
each. I marinated and grilled them. They were tasty
and the leftovers made great sandwiches. It's a slightly
tougher cut than the pork loin. Overcooking it would lead
to dryness in my experience.
