Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large (about 1 1/4 pounds each) pork tenderloins, well trimmed
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon whole mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup olive oil plus more if necessary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut pork tenderloins crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide medallions, then lightly pound with meat mallet to 3/4-inch thickness; sprinkle with pepper.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, coarsely ground mustard seeds, whole mustard seeds, and salt in pie dish or wide bowl.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together egg whites and water.
  • Dip pork in egg white mixture; coat with mustard-seed mixture on both sides; and place on rimmed baking sheet.
  • In heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
  • Working in batches, cook pork until brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side, adding more oil to pan if necessary. Transfer to baking sheet; roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into meat registers 140°F, about 10 minutes (meat will continue to cook as it rests). Transfer pork to large platter; let rest 10 minutes. Serve with red wine sauce .
