Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'pork' names the animal source and 'tenderloin' names a specific, very tender cut of meat, so the combined phrase denotes the tenderloin of pork. This noun-noun combination is a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern for meat cuts, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Pork tenderloin is named for two simple words: pork (meat from a pig) and tenderloin (the soft, narrow part of the pig's loin). So it means a long, lean cut of pork that is especially 'tender' and often roasted, grilled, or pan-seared.
