Toppings

Method

Pork Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

    Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pork

    Set up a breading station: Place the all-purpose flour in one bowl, beat the egg in a second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Dredge the pork in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then coat it with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Deep Fry the Pork

    Carefully place the breaded pork tenderloin into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

  5. 5

    Rest the Pork

    Remove the pork from the oil and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the pork is resting, wash and prepare the lettuce. Slice the tomato and red onion thinly.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the pub buns in half. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a layer of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.

  3. 8

    Finish the Sandwich

    Slice the rested pork tenderloin into medallions and place a few pieces on top of the vegetables. If desired, add a dollop of creamy horseradish before placing the top half of the bun on.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite sides.
