Crunchy Baked Pork Tenderloin Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium skillet, combine the panko, 2 teaspoons of the herbes de Provence, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds black pepper and the olive oil. Toast the panko over medium heat watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Prepare your breading station with three shallow baking dishes or plates big enough to fit the pork: Put the flour in one dish. Whisk the eggs with the 2 tablespoons fig butter in the second dish. Transfer the toasted panko to the third dish.
• Season each pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat each in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg and fig mixture. Coat with the panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a probe thermometer into the middle of one tenderloin (or use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature after the suggested roasting time). Bake until cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F on the thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before the pork is done, make the fig glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup fig butter with 1/3 cup water, the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and creates a shiny glaze.
• Slice the pork and serve with the fig glaze on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly oil a wire rack or coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set in a baking sheet.
• Combine the bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, oil, salt and pepper. Use paper towels to pat dry the pork tenderloin.
• On a piece of plastic wrap, spread the crumb mixture in a strip as long as the tenderloin. Coat the tenderloin with the mustard. Roll the tenderloin in the crumbs so they stick to the mustard.
• Place tenderloin on the prepared rack. Roast until the crust is golden, the tenderloin is barely pink in the center and the internal temperature is 155F, 35-45 minutes.
• Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Slice tenderloin into 1/4 inch rounds. Place rounds between sheets of plastic wrap and pound until thin.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat eggs and milk together and pour into a shallow dish or bowl. Set aside. In a separate dish or bowl combine breadcrumbs with garlic salt, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix all together. In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Meanwhile, dip tenderloins in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture. When oil is hot, add coated tenderloin to skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides (not cooked through)!
• Place browned tenderloin in a 9x13 inch baking dish lined with aluminum foil. Fry any leftover eggs and bread crumbs together for 'breadings'. Add 'breadings' to baking dish. Cover tightly and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until meat has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. Place egg in another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs and place in a third shallow bowl., Cut tenderloin crosswise into 4 slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Dip in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help adhere., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook pork 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. Serve in buns, with toppings as desired.
