Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 buns
  • 2 medium carrots

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 lb pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Pound each piece between plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Set up three shallow dishes: 0.5 cup flour with salt and pepper, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Dredge each pork piece in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat.

  3. 3

    Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the breaded pork in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pan.

  4. 4

    Toast the 4 buns in the skillet for 1 minute. Shred the 2 carrots into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Place a pork cutlet on each bun and top with shredded carrots. Serve immediately.
