Coat the Medallions
Dredge each medallion in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely coated, then press into the bread crumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
Cooking the Tenderloin

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Fry the Medallions
Carefully place the breaded medallions into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, remove the medallions and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
