Recipe information

Make Crispy Breaded Pork Tenderloin in just 45m. Crispy Midwest breaded pork tenderloin with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on a toasted bun

Prepare the Pork

1. Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin, then cut it into 1-inch thick slices. Use a meat mallet to pound each slice to about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.

2. Season the Pork

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each pork slice.

Bread the Pork

3. Set Up Breading Station

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

4. Bread the Pork

Dredge each pork slice in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Cook the Pork

5. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6. Fry the Pork

Carefully add the breaded pork slices to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich

7. Prepare the Toppings

While the pork is cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato and onion into rings.

8. Assemble the Sandwiches

Place a fried pork tenderloin on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickle slices. Place the top half of the bun on top to complete the sandwich.
