Pork Tenderloin

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tenderloin

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Rub the pork tenderloin with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly on all sides.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Coat the Pork

    Dredge the seasoned pork tenderloin in flour, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded pork tenderloin and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Finish in the Oven

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides.
