Looking for a Quick Pork Dish? Pork Tenders



We call them Pork Tenders but they're also referred to as a Pork Cutlet, or even Schnitzel. No matter what the name, this recipe is super quick, easy and very delicious! Barry just slices off a piece or pork tenderloin or loin, pounds it until it’s thin, dredges it in seasoned flour and fries it in hot olive oil. Sometimes he makes a pan sauce, other times he serves it plain.

Pounded Pork Tenders
Pork tenderloin – loin would also work
Salt & pepper
Paprika
All-purpose flour
Olive oil

1.     Slice the tenderloin crosswise into rounds about ½” thick.
2.     Place the rounds between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet or a skillet until it is thin and spread out.
Barry uses a skillet to pound the pork.
3.     Mix salt, pepper and paprika with flour in a shallow pan.
4.     Dredge each side of the meat in the flour mixture; shake off excess flour.
He "dredges" the meat in seasoned flour; a hot skillet awaits.
5.     Heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add a thin layer of olive oil.
6.     When oil is hot, carefully drop in the floured pork. Let it brown on one side and turn. Because the meat is so thin, this cooking time is very quick.
Tenders "fry" in the hot oil and then they are turned , , ,
