BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
This pork tenderloin sandwich (with a crispy golden cutlet that is so wide, no bun can contain it) is the deep-fried darling of Indiana. It's is so beloved in the Hoosier state that it inspired a documentary about the search for the perfect version of it. We hope it will inspire you to try an uncommon way of cooking pork tenderloin, whether you're a fan or a skeptic.

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.
PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
A classic sandwich in the Midwest, particularly popular in Iowa and Indiana, but there are regional variations throughout the entire United STates. I've always thought of this as a German schnitzel on a sandwich. It's crispy and crunchy... tender deliciousness!

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.

GIANT PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES
I grew up eating these huge sandwiches in Indiana. After moving to New York, I began to miss them. So I created my own recipe! We love these sandwiches! I introduced my New York native husband to these giant sandwiches after I moved here to New York. He thought it was joke I was playing on him because the breaded pork loin is so huge compared to the regular bun it sits on. On a trip back to my home state, I took him to a local truck stop diner and had him order the Giant Tenderloin Sandwich. He learned that day I wasn't playing a joke on him, because their's was bigger than mine!

Steps:
- Pound each pork loin chop to about 1/4 inch thickness with flat side of meat mallet. Careful not to tear the meat. You want this to be very thin. If you accidentally tear it, it will still work.
- Beat eggs with water in a large bowl. Place cracker crumbs in another very large bowel. Place flour on a large dinner plate. Set up your breading station: flour, then egg, then cracker crumbs.
- Dip each flattened loin in flour, gently shake off extra, then in egg, then cracker crumbs, wipe hands now with a damp towel, press crumbs into the meat. Dip again in egg, and again in cracker crumbs, wipe hands again with damp towel, press into the meat firmly. NOTE: these are going to double to triple in size after they are fully breaded.
- Place in single layer on large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Press the meat hard again to make sure there are no wet spots. Can use two baking sheets or can place a piece of parchment on top of first layer, then place rest of breaded meat on top. (Picture shows the size of the breaded loin compared to a standard size bottle of seasoning)
- Place in freezer for 2 hours. Dont skip this. Or overnight. If overnight, I suggest using freezer paper instead of parchment.
- In a very large deep skillet or stock pot, heat oil to 375°F.
- Cook each piece, one at a time, until golden brown, turning to cook evenly. About 4 minutes each side. The breading may bubble up and separate from the pork, don't panic. This happens to me usually on the last one I breaded, because I begin to get tired, and didn't thoroughly press the cracker crumbs into the meat each time.
- Remove to paper towels to drain. Optional you can sprinkle a little salt over the cooked meat. I don't typically because of the salt in the cracker crumbs.
- To serve, place preferred condiments and toppings on bun, place tenderloin on bun. The pork is supposed to hang over the bun quite a lot! Serve and enjoy!
- If you think these might be just too large for you and those you are feeding, simply cut each piece of meat in half after you pound them, but before you bread them.

Steps:
- Make the dressing and marinate the tomatoes: In a small bowl, whisk together the Balsamic Reduction and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the dressing with the tomatoes and salt to taste. Toss to coat and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining dressing for the sandwich.
- Make the pork: Cut the tenderloin on a bias into four equal pieces. Pound out each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a long 1/4-inch-thick cutlet.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (this gives it the puffy golden brown exterior we love!). Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
- Generously sprinkle the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Then coat in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure it all sticks. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan and let dry out for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 cups oil in a large high-sided pan or skillet over medium heat until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fit two sheet pans with wire racks and set aside.
- Fry the cutlets in batches while gently shaking the skillet to ensure no sticking and that the tops of the cutlets get some love, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack to drain.
- Assemble the subs: In a medium bowl, combine the arugula and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- Cut the bread in half horizontally to split. Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with the reserved balsamic dressing and some olive oil. Place the burrata slices on the bottom half of the bread, ensuring that all that creamy interior goodness evenly mingles with the bread. Sprinkle with flakey salt. Layer the pork, shingled and on a bias, on top. Top with the dressed arugula, marinated tomatoes, basil and banana peppers. Drizzle with some banana pepper brine, then close up with the bread top! Slice on the bias into 4 equal sandwiches.
- In a small saucepan, add the balsamic, brown sugar, thyme, garlic, shallots and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then let it cook until it reduces to 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Strain.

Steps:
- Cut the pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Put each piece flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally almost in half (stop about 1 inch from the other side). Open like a book. Sprinkle each piece with water, place between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet.
- Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne in a shallow bowl. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs in a food processor, then transfer to a shallow dish. Put the flour in another dish. Remove each piece of pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge both sides in the flour, dip in the buttermilk marinade again, then coat with the cracker crumbs.
- Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. Fry the pork in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Spread both halves of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the bottom halves. Add a piece of pork and a few pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.
