I hope you give this easy pork cutlet a delicious cream gravy. You can substitute veal, beef, turkey or chicken for the pork without missing a beat. Ingredients:
2 (1 1/4 pound) fully trimmed pork tenderloins, cut into 8 pieces |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed |
2 eggs, beaten |
3 cups panko bread crumbs |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/3 cup diced dill pickles |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced |
1 bunch green onions, chopped, green tops reserved |
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste |
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups cold milk, or more as needed |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, or to taste |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste |
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
2. Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.
3. Transfer pork pieces to a bowl filled with panko bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs firmly into the meat on both sides. Transfer breaded cutlets to a clean plate, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in pickles, jalapeno pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes.
5. Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
6. Slowly stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons cold milk, whisking constantly. Stir in remaining milk, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Simmer on low for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Heat half the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining vegetable oil and pork cutlets.
