Hoosier Pork-Tenderloin Sandwich image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds center-cut boneless pork loin
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 sleeves saltines (about 80 crackers)
2 cups instant flour (such as Wondra)
Peanut oil, for frying
4 soft hamburger buns, split
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
4 half-sour dill pickles, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Put each piece flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally almost in half (stop about 1 inch from the other side). Open like a book. Sprinkle each piece with water, place between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet.
  • Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne in a shallow bowl. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs in a food processor, then transfer to a shallow dish. Put the flour in another dish. Remove each piece of pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge both sides in the flour, dip in the buttermilk marinade again, then coat with the cracker crumbs.
  • Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. Fry the pork in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Spread both halves of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the bottom halves. Add a piece of pork and a few pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.

EASY BEER BATTER



Easy Beer Batter image

First rule of beer batter: Beer batter is not complicated, it should only contain beer and self-raising flour. Second rule of beer batter: The beer should be cold. Third rule of beer batter: You DO NOT need to sift the flour and don't over-whisk it. A few lumps actually makes for a better texture. Fourth and most important rule of beer batter: It is important to choose the correct beer according to what you are going to cook. As any ingredient ranges in texture and taste, so does beer.

BEER-BASTED PULLED PORK ROAST



Beer-Basted Pulled Pork Roast image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups beer
2 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper
2 bay leaves
One 5- to 8-pound Boston pork butt

Steps:

  • Bring first 9 ingredients to a boil in a very large pot. Reduce heat and simmer 1 minute to blend flavors. Place pork in a large Dutch oven, pour half the liquid over the pork. Cover and place the pork in a 300 degree preheated oven. Roast for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Boil remaining liquid over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Pay careful attention to the sauce near the 30 minute mark, if the mixture gets foamy, remove from heat. Cook until reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves and let cool for about 15 minutes. Mixture will thicken considerably as it cools. Top roasted pork with BBQ sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the pork tenderloin in the beer batter. Dip it in the batter, then roll it in flour, then dip it in the batter again.
  • Serve the beer-battered pork tenderloin with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover beer, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give beer-battered pork tenderloin a try.
