Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Tenderloin

    Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Cut it into even medallions, about 1-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Breading the Tenderloin

  1. 3

    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

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    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.

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the breaded tenderloin hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
