Fried Breaded Pork Tenderloin
"I am NOT a big pork fan, but I do like pork tenderloin - it's "the other white meat" very low in fat content (hate fatty meats!) The rosemary makes this absolutely heavenly. Got it out of my old Good Housekeeping cookbook. (my newlywed bible)I like to make my twice-baked potatoes with this,and some broccoli or asparagus(when it's cheap)"

This recipe was great for something so simple! My husband is always whining for fried pork chops, but like you, I don't care for fatty meats, either. This is the perfect alternative - fried flavor but a lean tenderloin! I made this recipe exactly as posted (and used extra rosemary, too - great taste!). Served with creamed potatoes and steamed snap peas. Thanks, Mary Ellen!! -
We always have pork loin in the house and I was looking for something different to make.... this was out of this world! The only thing I did different was add a little parmesean cheese to the bread crumbs. Fantastic recipe MEP! -
Can only agree with Kelly, this recipe was great for something so simple! I also used more rosemary. Followed your suggestion and served it with your twice baked potatoes recipe #49397 and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Great meal! -
Holy cow, I was craving comfort food and I found it here! Absolutely awesome, you could cut this with a butter knife it was so tender! I used italian seasoned breadcrumbs, subbed season salt for the plain salt, and up the rosemary! Served it along side OzMarthas Noodles Romanoff and sugar snap peas, and I was transported to the comfort zone! Thanks for the incredible recipe! It couldn't be easier or tastier!

I think cut thicker, maybe inch butterflies into 1/2 inch. With it being so lean, you almost really have to pack that punch in seasoning. Even thickness of bread matters cause I think it overpowers the meat. I would like to play with this recipe alittle see out I can make it into something I really like, the egg wash and breadcrumbs was a good coating for it, crispy outside. So I say, thicker meat and heavy on the seasoning, thinner cut bread that won't be overpowering. Thanks for recipe!! -
I used panko bread crumbs and it was amazing! Very tender pork and crisp breading. -
Wonderful recipe!!! Pork Tenderloin must be handled gently or it will be tough. This was delicious and tender. Give it a try! The rosemary absolutely made the dish. Note: I added the rosemary, a little onion and garlic powder to the bread crumbs. Also used milk instead of water.
