Ingredients
- 2 Pounds Pork Tenderloin

Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
1. Cut the tenderloin, and, using a kitchen mallet or meat tenderizer, flatten to ¼ inch thick.
2. Create the marinade by whisking together eggs, milk, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl.
3. Add pork to the marinade, and let sit in a refrigerator for at least one hour.
4. In a large freezer bag, crush the saltine crackers. Smith recommends a thin, mealy texture, but feel free to experiment with leaving larger chunks.
5. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil.
6. Remove pork form marinade, dredge, or coat the pork with a thin layer of flour.
7. Dip pork in marinade again and coat with the crushed saltine cracker.
8. Fry in the large skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
9. Serve hot on sandwich bread or buns.
