Steps:
- Cut the pork tenderloin crosswise into 4 even pieces. Cut each piece crosswise again, but do not go all the way through; you should be able to open it like a book. Pound each piece with a mallet until 1/4-inch thick and 6 to 8 inches across.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish. Add the pork cutlets. Make sure all the pieces are coated well with the buttermilk marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: the flour in the first dish, eggs in the second and breadcrumbs in the third. Sprinkle all 3 dishes with salt and pepper.
- Fill a large, high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch oil, attach a deep fat fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour first, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Gently place into the hot oil without overcrowding the skillet. You will need to fry the cutlets in batches. When the cutlets are golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes, carefully turn and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain well on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Build the sandwiches by putting the cutlets between the burger buns and garnishing with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. The cutlet should hang generously over the bun.
BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
This is a great make ahead recipe that's perfect for informal get-togethers. If not preparing for serving later, you can omit the baking portion - just cook through when frying. I buy whole pork roasts and slice the entire thing for tenderloins. As long as I'm going to the work to prepare them; I prepare the entire roast for freezing and, walah, several make ahead meals are ready!

Tips:
- Tenderize the pork tenderloin: Use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize the pork tenderloin before breading and frying. This will help to break down the fibers and make the meat more tender and juicy.
- Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the pork tenderloin sandwich its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. A simple breading made with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs is a good starting point, but you can also add herbs, spices, or grated cheese to taste.
- Fry the pork tenderloin until golden brown: Fry the pork tenderloin in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will help to keep the meat juicy and prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the pork tenderloin sandwich on a toasted bun: A toasted bun will help to absorb the juices from the pork tenderloin and add a bit of crunch to the sandwich.
- Add your favorite toppings: Top the pork tenderloin sandwich with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, or cheese.
Conclusion:
The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich is a classic American comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its juicy, flavorful pork tenderloin, crispy breading, and your favorite toppings, this sandwich is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
