Crispy Fried Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 4 large soft rolls
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 12 slices dill pickle

Instructions

1. Prepare the pork tenderloin by trimming fat and silver skin. Cut into 4 equal pieces and flatten each to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap using a meat mallet.
2. In separate shallow dishes, combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in one, buttermilk and egg in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
3. Thoroughly dry the flattened pork cutlets. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg-buttermilk mixture, and finally coat completely with panko breadcrumbs. Allow the breaded cutlets to dry for at least 5 minutes on a plate.
4. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet to 350-375°F (175-190°C). Fry a couple of breaded cutlets at a time for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Place fried cutlets on a wire rack to drain excess oil, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
5. Assemble your sandwich by spreading mayonnaise on each roll, then adding lettuce, pickle slices, and the crispy pork tenderloin cutlets.
