Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Pork: Halve the pork tenderloin lengthwise. Encase each half between plastic wrap sheets. Tenderize to 1/8-inch thickness. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season and Layer: Unveil the pork, season generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread a delicate layer of Dijon mustard across the surface. Sprinkle grated Monterey Jack cheese and fresh parsley evenly. (5 minutes)

03

Step

The Art of the Fold: Fold the pointiest end of the pork inward by 1/3. Fold in both sides. Execute another fold. Finally, fold the remaining end on top. Gently flatten the seam-side down within the plastic wrap. Unwrap and re-season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Breading Perfection: Prepare a plate for the cutlets. Lightly dust each cutlet with flour on all sides. In separate shallow dishes, prepare the beaten egg and panko bread crumbs. Dip each cutlet in egg, then press firmly into the panko, ensuring full coverage. Allow the cutlets to rest. (15-20 minutes)

05

Step

Golden Fry: Heat approximately 1/4 inch of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each cutlet until a golden crust forms and the meat exhibits a springy resilience when touched, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. (8-10 minutes)

Ensure the oil is hot enough for the cutlets to sizzle gently upon contact, but not so hot that they burn before cooking through.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a simple salad make a bright, complementary accompaniment to these rich cutlets.

    The resting time after breading is key! It really helps the breadcrumbs stick.
