Ingredients
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 3 Tbsp Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Sliders
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg whisked with 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 cups of dry breadcrumbs
- Canola oil and butter for frying
- 8 small dinner rolls split
- 8 slices Gruyere cheese
Instructions
Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- Whisk all the ingredients together and season to taste. Chill until ready to use.
Sliders
- Slice the pork tenderloin into 8 medallions and flatten them by placing them one at a time in a resealable bag and pounding them with a flat meat mallet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Ready your breading station by placing the flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumbs each in separate shallow dishes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip the tenderloin portions in the flour, then into the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring each is fully coated, shaking off excess.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil and butter, until the butter foams and then subsides before adding the pork.
- Place the schnitzel pieces into the pan without crowding and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Cook in batches, adding more oil and butter into the pan as needed. Cooked schnitzels can be kept on a plate in a 300°F oven until they are all done.
- Serve on dinner rolls slathered with ranch dressing and topped with cheese (even better melted!).
