Oven Fried Spicy Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Recipes

OVEN FRIED SPICY PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a freezer bag or a non-reactive 13x9 glass baking dish, combine buttermilk, cayenne, black pepper and Kosher salt.
• Place a loin chop between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a gallon size freezer bag. Using a SMOOTH meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound the meat until it is 1/8 in thick. Repeat with remaining loin chops.
• Place the 1/2 cup of self rising flour in a paper plate. Dredge each pounded chop in the flour and pat off excess leaving a very thin coating. Place each floured chop in the buttermilk. Cover and marinate in the fridge 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Preheat over to 400 degrees.
• Mix 1 hot and spicy Shake Bake packet with the 1/2 cup of Panko crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs) on a paper plate.
• Pull marinating chops from the fridge. One by one, allow as much of the excess marinade to drip off as possible. Dredge chops in the Shake and Bake/Panko crumbs. Place chops on a baking/cooling rack, or a sheet pan, that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Place chops in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop bread and butter pickles and mix with the mayonnaise. Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayo on each side of the buns. Place one tomato slice on the bottom of each bun slice and sprinkle lightly with cracked pepper and Kosher salt. Place one chop on the tomato and finish with the top bun. Serve hot.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 even pieces. Cut each piece crosswise again, but do not go all the way through; you should be able to open it like a book. Pound each piece with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches across.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets. Make sure all the pieces are coated well with the buttermilk marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: the flour in the first dish, eggs in the second and breadcrumbs in the third. Sprinkle all 3 dishes with salt and pepper.
• Fill a large, high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Gently place into the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. You will need to fry the cutlets in batches. When the cutlets are golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, carefully turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Build the sandwiches by putting the cutlets between the burger buns and garnishing with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. The cutlet should hang generously over the bun.

CRISPY PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the pork: Cut the tenderloin into quarters; using a meat mallet, pound each piece until it is 1/4 inch thick and about 6 inches wide. Mix the buttermilk and barbecue rub in a baking dish, add the pork, cover and let marinate overnight or up to 2 days.
• In a large deep saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Take the pork out of the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
• Make a three-stage breading station with the flour, eggs and crouton crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Place the pork pieces first in the flour, turning to coat; shake off the excess. Dip the pork in the beaten egg and let the excess drip off, then dredge in the crouton crumbs, pressing until total coverage is achieved.
• Fry the pork in batches until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Let drain on a paper towel?lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Make the aioli: Mix the mayonnaise, habanero sauce and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt.
• Build the sandwiches: Place the crispy pork on the toasted buns with some pickle slices, shredded lettuce and then a nice schmear of the aioli. Serve with extra aioli on the side.

• Dip each slice in the bouillon water and then in the cracker meal.

PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Trim pork tenderloin of any fat and silver skin, and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Pound the cutlets using a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness, flattening each piece.
• Combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a second dish. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third dish.
• Dry cutlets with paper towels, and dredge each in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off any excess. Next dredge tenderloins in the egg-buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess. Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
• Spread each roll with mayonnaise then add lettuce, pickle slices, and cutlets.

PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan. On a sheet of parchment paper, combine salt, oregano, coriander, and pepper. Working with one tenderloin at a time, roll to coat with spices. Transfer to prepared pan.
• In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is syrupy and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Roast the pork for 5 minutes. Brush all over with 1/3 of the balsamic reduction. Roast 5 minutes more, and brush with remaining balsamic mixture. Roast until the temperature registers 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes more. Remove from pan. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Split the rolls, and brush 1/2 teaspoon of the mustard over each side. Place meat on rolls and top with onion. Replace the tops, and serve immediately.

TRADITIONAL INDIANA BREADED TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place each slice of pork tenderloin between two pieces of sturdy plastic (such as a cut-up large plastic freezer bag), and flatten the cutlet until it's about 1/4 inch thick, and about 3 1/2 by 5 inches in size.
• Beat the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl, and whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, marjoram, oregano, salt, and pepper until the spices are well blended into the mixture. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
• Dip each flattened cutlet into the seasoned milk-egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs, thoroughly coating the cutlets with crumbs. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a piece of parchment or waxed paper; do not stack.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet until the oil is shimmering. Gently lower the cutlets, one at a time, into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes per cutlet. Drain the cutlets on paper towels.
• Preheat oven broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Spread the Kaiser rolls open with the cut sides up, and broil until the rolls are toasted and hot, about 1 minute. Top each roll with a fried cutlet (hopefully the sides of the meat will hang out of the roll by at least an inch on each side); top each cutlet with choice of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a pickle slice, if desired.
