Pork Tenderloin

Breading (for breaded option)

Buns and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Pork Tenderloin

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.

  2. 2

    Grill the Pork

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Breaded Option

  1. 3

    Prepare Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt and black pepper. In a second bowl, beat the egg with milk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  2. 4

    Bread the Pork

    Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions. Dredge each piece in the flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  3. 5

    Fry the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the breaded pork medallions and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the kaiser buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a slice of pickle. Spread mustard and mayonnaise on the top half of the bun.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the grilled or breaded pork tenderloin on top of the prepared toppings and close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.
