Pork Tenderloin

[ella/TO]

Okay folks...I'm winging it today....I have a pork tenderloin which I sliced about 1" thick and it's now marinating in buttermilk. I thought I'd let the bmilk drip off then put the pieces in panko crumbs....fry it quickly, but....I really would like some kind of sauce or gravy.....that's what my dh will ask for.....any ideas for me?.....thanks in advance

Hmmm - it sounds like a really good idea, ella. If you keep the fried cutlets warm in the oven after they are cooked, you should be able to make a pretty good gravy from the pan drippings if you've used enough fat. I think I would use a combo of butter/oil. The crumbs should brown well, giving you some color. Just add butter if necessary, make a roux by adding about 1/4 cup of flour, then add water or broth. Cook until the flour taste is gone and the gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes. Be good with some homemade applesauce, too. And garlic mashed potatoes.....ok, now I am hungry.

I do what Karen say's only instead of water I use a little broth and then add some fresh lemon juice and about a 1/4 cup of white wine...Add some freshly chopped Italian parley and finely minced garlic, let the sauce reduce a little add a pat of butter then put over the meat.

You'll have to let us know how that turns out! My mouth is watering already!

I think I'd make a milk gravy instead of using broth or water...or saute some sweet onions in the fat and then make a gravy with broth or water.

Those would be good braised after browning, then with a pan gravy from the braising liquid.
