Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork Tenderloin
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ½ cup Flour
  • ¼ cup Cornmeal (or unseasoned breadcrumbs)
  • ~1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • Cooking Oil (such as canola)

Serving

  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • 1 Red Onion (cut into rings)
  • 12 slices Dill Pickles
  • 4 leaves Lettuce
  • Mustard
  • Mayo (Optional)

Instructions

  • After trimming any fat off from edges, cut pork into 4 equal pieces and butterfly each slice so only a thin piece of meat connects them. Put each butterflied slice between pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat hammer to pound the slice until is flattened but not torn (~⅓” thick).
  • Mix together flour, cornmeal, salt and black pepper.
  • Heat ½ inch of oil in a deep, wide skillet to 365 degrees F.
  • Dip each slice of pork in milk, then in flour mixture. Fry tenderloin, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
  • Drain on paper towels or wire rack.

Serving

  • Serve on buns with desired condiments (mustard, mayonnaise, dill pickles, sliced onion, lettuce).

Notes

Boneless pork loin or chops can be substituted if desired.
