Crusted Pork Tenderloin
- 2 whole Pork Tenderloins
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil
- 1 cup White Wine
- 3/4 cups Breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cups Parmesan Cheese
- 3/4 cups Butter
- Slice tenderloins into medallions about 1/3 thick.
- Using a chefs knife, press each medallion to flatten a bit.
- Dredge meat in mixture of flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- (The measurements given are approximate.
- I dont measure add the amount of each you prefer.)
- Cover bottom of large frying pan with olive oil (or a mixture of oil and butter, whatever you prefer).
- Heat oil and then add medallions, browning about 2 minutes each side.
- Remove to pan.
- My preferred pan is my rectangular baking stone with edges.
- When all pork is browned, remove most of the oil/butter from the pan, leaving any brown bits.
- Add wine to the pan to deglaze, stir up the brown bits and let cook down by about a third or so.
- If this doesnt seem like it will be enough liquid to cover the pan you are baking the meat in, add more wine.
- I often do.
- Remove from heat.
- Mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and butter in a small bowl.
- Spoon some on top of each piece of meat.
- I dont measure; just top each piece with enough to cover.
- Then, using clean hands, press this mixture down with finger tips to cover each slice of pork.
- Carefully pour the wine mixture around the meat (not over).
- This should cover the bottom of the pan.
- It does not make a sauce per se, but adds flavor to the meat.
- (When served, the meat will just be medallions on the plate, not meat with sauce.)
- Place the pan in a 350 degrees oven and cook until meat thermometer comes to 160 degrees .
- I like to place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two when the meat is nearing 160 degrees to get the topping a bit browned.
- Enjoy!
