BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

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.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN WHERE THE BREADING DOESN'T FALL OFF

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients together (corn meal, flour, bread crumbs, seasonings).
• Don't dip the tenderloins into any milk or egg, just dip it in your dry ingredients and coat both sides. Push the dry ingredients into the tenderloin best you can. The natural juices provide enough moisture to get the breading to stick.
• Lay breaded tenderloins on a plate or wax paper for 10-20 minutes to sit.
• Then fry in heated oil. It will take about 3-5 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the tenderloin. You may sprinkle tenderloin with salt while frying, if desired.
• Serve on toasted bun with mayo, loads of pickles (my favorite), mustard, ketchup, lettuce, or whatever you desire.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES

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.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN (MUM'S SCHNITZEL)

Steps:

• 1. Tenderloin is usually pretty lean, but remove any fat you can. Slice the tenderloin into thin strips about ¼" thick max.
• 2. This is never perfect unless you have a meat slicer so no worries. Whatever works. The pieces will be whatever shape they wind up lol.
• 3. Lay pieces of meat on a layer of saran, lightly salt and pepper the meat and cover with saran. Use the flat side of a tenderizer to lightly flatten the meat. (do not pound) If it's a large piece to start, you might want to cut it in half.
• 4. The meat WILL expand!
• 5. I start by crushing sleeves of crackers (in their sleeve), in a zip-loc bag. I make sure the ends of the sleeves are open, zip lock the bag then crush them with a rolling pin until they are "coarse" pieces and crumbs. Then remove the sleeve, put the crackers in a bowl or container for your assembly line, then crush 2 more sleeves the same way. 3 usually works for me. Depending on how much pork you prepare, you may have to crush more as you go along.
• 6. Have an assembly line of: Slices of pork Beaten eggs mixed with a little milk Crushed crackers
• 7. Dip several pieces of pork into egg then coat one or 2 at a time in crackers and put aside on a platter or plate until done. I lay the meat on the crackers then bury the pork using my fingers like a scoop. I like to get as much pork covered as I can, but you won't get 100% coverage and don't really want to :) Discard any remaining egg or crackers. It can get messy during this stage and I found gadgets like tongs just get in the way and slow the process. It's more a hands on thing :) so be close to a sink.
• 8. Melt enough lard on med-high to cover bottom of a large non-stick frying pan. I'm guessing 3 or 4 tblsp. Test with a small piece of meat. It should sizzle, not spit!
• 9. Place meat in single layer batches. I fry 8 - 10 pieces at a time. Use tongs and do not leave stove unattended. There is no window for distractions lol This cooks very quickly. Be prepared to turn the first pieces over soon after you have filled the pan. Turn only once.
• 10. Cook both sides of meat till crackers are toasted looking. (2 - 4 mins per side - depending on size of pieces) If it's too hot, it will burn the cracker. You may have to add more lard, in small amounts (by tsp.) It will melt and heat immediately to continue frying without removing the meat. *I've never had an incident frying with lard. You treat it like any other high heat frying oil, with respect!
• 11. Use tongs and turn and remove pieces of meat as they are done, to a plate with a paper towel for a quick pat dry of any lard, then move them to a warmed serving plate with paper towel. Put the plate on a baking sheet in a warm oven until remainder of meat is cooked) . REDUCE HEAT BOTH UNDER THE FRYING PAN AND IN THE OVEN AS NEEDED. I have an oven with hidden elements and can do this. You may just want to preheat the oven to warm then turn it off if you aren't comfy with paper towels in the oven.
• 12. When a batch is done, carefully remove any large cracker material from remaining lard in fry pan, add more lard and continue process until all pieces of tenderloin are cooked. Discard any remaining lard (old coffee tins are great for this). Remove platter of warm meat from oven and serve with your choice of side dish. Trust me, you will not believe how good these are until that first bite!
