Pork Fries

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (19 ounce) package Smithfield(R) Peppercorn & Garlic Seasoned Pork Tenderloin
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (8 ounce) package panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Place eggs, breadcrumbs and flour into separate bowls. Dredge pork strips in flour, coat with beaten egg, and toss in breadcrumbs.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Serve with BBQ sauce, sriracha mayonnaise, or ranch dressing for dipping.
