Chef John's exquisite stuffed pork cutlet: Tenderloin filled with flavorful seasonings for a delectable dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (1 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
  • olive oil for frying
Instructions:
  • Slice the pork tenderloin in half lengthwise. Place each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them until they are 1/8-inch thick.
  • Uncover the pork. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Spread Dijon mustard over the pork. Top with Monterey Jack cheese and parsley.
  • Fold the pointy end of the cutlet in by one-third, then fold in the sides. Fold the pork cutlet again and fold the remaining end on top. Flip the cutlets seam-side down in the plastic wrap and gently pound until flattened. Unwrap the cutlets and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
  • Coat the cutlets lightly with flour on all sides. Dip each cutlet in beaten egg, then coat it with bread crumbs. Allow the cutlets to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Warm a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear each cutlet in the hot oil until golden and the meat bounces back when touched, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
