Preparation

Step 1

Mix equal amounts of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in bowl.

Cut pork tenderloin in 8 equal pieces. Put pieces between wax paper and pound with mallet until thin, about 1/4-inch thick.

Dredge pieces in egg wash, then in bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Set aside on plate. Refrigerate until ready.

Melt butter in saucepan, then add flour and mix until smooth. Add broth, capers and lemon juice, stir and cook on low heat until slightly thickened.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat. When sizzling add pork pieces and brown quickly (2 to 3 min per side). Lower temperature to low and add caper sauce all over.

DELICIOUS!
