Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Breaded Pork Tenderloin.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Next, take your pork tenderloin and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
To make them nice and thin, place each slice between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them out.
Step 4
This step not only tenderizes the meat but also helps it cook evenly.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, whisk together some milk and eggs until well combined.
Step 6
In another shallow dish, mix together bread crumbs, oregano, garlic salt, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful coating.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Dip each pork slice into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and then coat it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
Step 8
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Fry the breaded pork slices in batches, cooking them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 10
Remember, they don’t need to be fully cooked just yet.
Step 11
Once browned, transfer the pork slices to your prepared baking dish.
Step 12
If you have any leftover egg and bread crumb mixture, don’t let it go to waste! Mix it together and fry it in the skillet until golden, then add it to the baking dish for extra crunch.
Step 13
Cover the dish tightly with foil and pop it into your preheated oven.
Step 14
Let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink in the center.
Step 15
To be sure it’s perfectly cooked, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 145°F (63°C).
Step 16
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this delicious meal!.
