Time 4h30m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 toasted hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickle rounds, mayonnaise and mustard, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 even pieces. Cut each piece crosswise again, but do not go all the way through; you should be able to open it like a book. Pound each piece with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches across.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets. Make sure all the pieces are coated well with the buttermilk marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: the flour in the first dish, eggs in the second and breadcrumbs in the third. Sprinkle all 3 dishes with salt and pepper.
  • Fill a large, high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Gently place into the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. You will need to fry the cutlets in batches. When the cutlets are golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, carefully turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Build the sandwiches by putting the cutlets between the burger buns and garnishing with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. The cutlet should hang generously over the bun.

This is a great make ahead recipe that's perfect for informal get-togethers. If not preparing for serving later, you can omit the baking portion - just cook through when frying. I buy whole pork roasts and slice the entire thing for tenderloins. As long as I'm going to the work to prepare them; I prepare the entire roast for freezing and, walah, several make ahead meals are ready!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

the amount of ingredients listed below is just enough breading for 2-3 tenderloin sandwiches
2-3 pork tenderloin chunks, see *note below
1 1/2 c Corn Flake crumbs, can make your own or can be bought
1 egg, beaten
splash of milk
oil for frying
salt to taste (I leave out)
large bbq buns or hoagie buns
your favorite condiments

Steps:

  • 1. You can have your butcher cut and tenderize the tenderloin for you if you like. Here is how I do it. Cut across tenderloin strip at 3-inch intervals.
  • 2. Place 1 chunk into gallon Ziploc bag and pound with flat side of meat mallet until about 3/8 inch thick.
  • 3. You want it thin, when put in frying pan meat will draw up a bit and become thicker. Repeat for each chunk. 1 chunk = 1 sandwich
  • 4. Place Corn Flake crumbs in a shallow bowl or on a large plate. Add salt if using and mix well; set aside. Beat egg in another shallow bowl and add a splash of milk, mix well. Set aside.
  • 5. Place oil in a skillet about 1/2 inch deep and heat while breading tenderloin.
  • 6. Dip the flat pieces of tenderloin, one at a time into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
  • 7. Then into the Corn Flake crumbs pressing the crumbs into the meat with your hands, coating both sides.
  • 8. Hold with both hands and place carefully into the hot oil. Fry on the first side until golden brown, turn and fry the second side until golden brown and meat is thoroughly cooked. Watch carefully as crumbs will burn easily.
  • 9. Drain on paper towel.
  • 10. Serve deluxe on extra large buns, mayo, lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and pickle. My Fave: mustard and dill pickle. Also, good with cole slaw on top.
  • 11. *NOTE: My pork tenderloin was about 2 1/3 lbs. There were 2 strips of tenderloin. I cut across each strip in 3 inch intervals and got 6 chunks out of the 2 strips. I pounded out all the chunks with the flat side of a meat mallet to about 3/8 inch thick. Wrapped each in plastic wrap, then in foil and placed in a Ziploc bag for the freezer. I saved 2 for dinner. I did not bread the tenderloin I wrapped for the freezer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Pork tenderloin is a lean and tender cut of meat that is perfect for breading and frying. Look for a tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight and has a uniform thickness.
  • Use a light touch when breading the pork: Over-breading will make the pork tough and dry. Use just enough breading to coat the pork evenly.
  • Fry the pork in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pork from becoming greasy.
  • Cook the pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the pork is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for breaded pork tenderloin include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded pork tenderloin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for dinner, lunch, or even as an appetizer. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give breaded pork tenderloin a try.
