Grilling Pork Tenderloin

The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is a derivative of the Wiener Schnitzel and is popular in the Midwest region of the United States.

The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was the subject of a 1998 documentary film, In Search of the Famous Hoosier Breaded Tenderloin. In the documentary, the two filmmakers search throughout Indiana in search of the perfect Pork Tenderloin sandwich.

Sandwich description

The primary differences between a Pork Tenderloin sandwich and a Wiener Schnitzel is that the Pork Tenderloin sandwich is made exclusively using pork loin and it is deep fried instead of pan fried. The Pork Tenderloin sandwich is also usually served on a bun. There is a grilled variant of the Pork Tenderloin that omits the breading and grills the tenderloin instead of deep frying it.

A Pork Tenderloin sandwich is traditionally prepared from a thinly sliced piece of pork tenderloin, hammered thin with a meat mallet. The meat is then dipped in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs before being deep fried in oil. After cooking, the prepared Pork Tenderloin is then served on a hamburger bun. The sandwich can have many condiments such as cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and mayonnaise.

The sandwich is usually served with a side of french fries, though onion rings are often used instead.

Variants

Grilled

The primary variant of the prepared Pork Tenderloin is a grilled prepared pork tenderloin. This is a healthier variation as the pork is grilled instead of fried. The meat is seasoned or marinated and then placed on a grill. After cooking, the meat is placed on a hamburger bun and topped with condiments.

Jackson County veal

A Jackson County veal is a type of sandwich served primarily in Jackson County, Ohio. Unlike a standard veal, which is made of the meat of young cows, a Jackson County veal is a large piece of pork. The meat is deep fried and served on a bun, typically with pickles. The size of the sandwich varies depending on the preparer, but is always noticeably larger than a standard hamburger or chicken sandwich. It is also known as a tenderloin in the Midwest (Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri) due to the pork tenderloin being its main ingredient.
