Kroger Peppercorn Pork Loin Filet
What it is
This is a pre-seasoned pork loin filet. It is made from tender pork loin that has been coated with a blend of black peppercorns and other seasonings. The peppercorns provide a bold, pungent flavor that complements the mild taste of the pork. It is designed for convenient home cooking, offering a flavorful meal with minimal preparation.

To cook, you can pan-sear the filet in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned on all sides and cooked through.
