Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Smithfield®

Time 37m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (19 ounce) package Smithfield® Peppercorn & Garlic Seasoned Pork Tenderloin
4 eggs, beaten
1 (8 ounce) package panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Remove tenderloin from packaging and place on cutting board; cut into 3 equal length sections, each about 3 inches long. Slice each section into 1/4- to 1/2-inch diameter strips. You will end up with approximately 34 strips that are similar in size and shape to French fries.
  • Place eggs, breadcrumbs and flour into separate bowls. Dredge pork strips in flour, coat with beaten egg, and toss in breadcrumbs.
  • Pour oil into large skillet until 1/4 inch deep; heat over medium-high until breadcrumb dropped in oil sizzles. Gently place approximately 8 breaded pork strips into oil, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry approximately 1 1/2 minutes per side until golden brown, crisp, and internal temperature of pork is at least 150 degrees F.; drain on paper towels. Repeat until all pork strips are fried. Note that stove temperature may need to be reduced to prevent burning when the oil level lowers after a few batches.
  • Serve with BBQ sauce, sriracha mayonnaise, or ranch dressing for dipping.
