Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (1 1/4 pound) fully trimmed pork tenderloins, cut into 8 pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup diced dill pickles
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 bunch green onions, chopped, green tops reserved
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups cold milk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
  • Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.
  • Transfer pork pieces to a bowl filled with panko bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs firmly into the meat on both sides. Transfer breaded cutlets to a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in pickles, jalapeno pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
  • Slowly stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining vegetable oil and pork cutlets.

FOLDED PORK CUTLETS



Folded Pork Cutlets image

I thought I'd seen all there was to see when it came to pan-fried pork cutlets, but then I saw something called Katsu 'Mille-Feuille,' and I realized I hadn't seen anything yet. Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but I really loved the unusual look and feel, as well as the internal flavoring opportunities the multi-layer technique provides. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Served here with a salad and a squeeze of lemon on top.

PORK CUTLETS WITH FENNEL



Pork Cutlets with Fennel image

Breaded pork combined with crunchy fennel makes a one-pan recipe that you'll keep coming back to.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon grated zest of lemon
1/4 pound (2 to 3) pork loin cutlets
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 small fennel bulb (12 ounces with stalks), trimmed, halved, cored, and sliced, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, for garnish (optional)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • On a sheet of waxed paper, combine breadcrumbs and lemon zest. Season pork with salt and pepper; dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add pork; cook until lightly browned and just done, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Add fennel and garlic; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook until fennel is tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and remaining oil. Season with salt; spoon over pork. Garnish with fennel fronds, if using.

Additional Helpful Tricks:

* To ensure the cutlets are evenly browned, make sure the skillet is hot before adding them. * To prevent the cutlets from sticking to the pan, make sure the skillet is well-greased. * Use kitchen mallet to flatten the meat evenly, resulting in a more consistent cooking time and even browning. * To achieve a crispy crust, use a mixture of butter and oil in the skillet. The butter will brown the cutlets while the oil will prevent them from sticking. * If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check for donness by cutting into the cutlet. The meat should be white in the center with a slight pink tinge. * Serve the cutlets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed, roasted or steamed, and a variety of sauces.
