Pork Tenderloin

Breading

Buns and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Pork

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Season Pork

    Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and season it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Breading Process

  1. 3

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

  2. 4

    Dredge in Flour and Eggs

    Dredge the seasoned pork tenderloin in flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.

  3. 5

    Coat in Bread Crumbs

    Finally, coat the pork in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.

Frying the Pork

  1. 6

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 7

    Fry Pork

    Carefully add the breaded pork tenderloin to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the pork to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 9

    Slice Pork

    Slice the cooked pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick slices.

  2. 10

    Prepare Buns

    Spread mayonnaise on the insides of the buns.

  3. 11

    Assemble Sandwich

    Layer lettuce, tomato slices, and the sliced pork on the buns.

  4. 12

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun, press gently, and serve immediately.
