Fried Breaded Pork Tenderloin

Recipe #49465 | 50 min | 30 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: MEP

I am NOT a big pork fan, but I do like pork tenderloin - it's "the other white meat" very low in fat content (hate fatty meats!) The rosemary makes this absolutely heavenly. Got it out of my old Good Housekeeping cookbook. (my newlywed bible)I like to make my twice-baked potatoes with this,and some broccoli or asparagus(when it's cheap)

    Very moist and tasty! I would advise everyone to not heat the oil up too high...my tenderloin pieces came out a little too brown for my taste and I set my temperature to medium. But the overall taste was excellent. I just need to adjust the temp to keep them from burning. Thanks for a tasty recipe!

    These were perfectly breaded, wonderfully crispy and I love the flavor the rosemary brings out. I rarely eat breaded pork these days and this was a delightful little change of pace which brought me memories of my mom and meals at home years ago. Comfort food! Thanks for posting. ~Sue

    We always have pork loin in the house and I was looking for something different to make.... this was out of this world! The only thing I did different was add a little parmesean cheese to the bread crumbs. Fantastic recipe MEP!

    This recipe was great for something so simple! My husband is always whining for fried pork chops, but like you, I don't care for fatty meats, either. This is the perfect alternative - fried flavor but a lean tenderloin! I made this recipe exactly as posted (and used extra rosemary, too - great taste!). Served with creamed potatoes and steamed snap peas. Thanks, Mary Ellen!!
