Breaded Pork Tenderloin

 

Breaded Meat of any kind is a hard sell with some people unless you make it look like a restaurant dish. Drizzle ranch dressing or barbecue sauce on top and it's a home run.

INGREDIENTS: 

1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)

 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 

 1/3 cup cornbread/muffin mix 

 1/2 teaspoon salt 

 1/4 teaspoon pepper 

 1 large egg, beaten 

 4 tablespoons canola oil 

 (Ranch or barbecue sauce, optional) 

 DIRECTIONS: 

 Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-in. slices. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornbread mix, salt and pepper. Place egg in a separate shallow bowl. Dip pork in egg, then in flour mixture, patting to help coating adhere. 

 In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add half of the pork; cook until a thermometer reads 145°, 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Wipe skillet clean; repeat with remaining oil and pork. If desired, serve with sauce.

ENJOY!!
