Default Iowa pork sandwich


I made the Iowa pork sandwich last night. Even though my husband is
from Iowa he has never had one. I will make this again. Tasty. The
first thing he said after his first bite was 'good.' There are many
recipes on the 'Net but I chose this one. This is an excellent way to
use those hugely thick loin pork chops we get at Costco. I cut just
one in half laterally and pounded both halves until a generous 1/4
inch thick. Recipe and instructions are as I found them. You are all
good cooks so I figure you'll be able to adjust for your own
circumstances. I used bolilo rolls, a hoagie roll would work fine as
well. I figure this is now part of my repertoire

Iowa Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
1/26/18 very good
" 1 pork tenderloin trimmed
" 3/4cup oil
" 1 egg
" 1/2cup milk
" 1cup AP flour
" 1/2cup bread crumbs
" 1teaspoon salt
" 1/2teaspoon pepper
" 1/2teaspoon onion powder
" 1/2teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Start with about a quarter inch of oil in a large pan. I used
a 12 cast iron chicken fryer, but any heavy large fry pan would work.
Preheat oven and a tray to 200 to use to keep batches warm while you
do additional trays. Put the oil over medium heat and heat to 365. You
need to check temp, and a good instant read thermometer is great here.
2. Trim a pork tenderloin of any fat and silverskin. Now cut into
four equal size piece. You are going for approximately equal weight.
Next "butterfly" the pieces. Do this by cutting 3/4 of the way through
and fold it back to double the size.
3. Next cover with plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick. Some
go to 1/8 inch, but that becomes huge.
4. Set up two pans. In the first, combine one egg and 1/2 cup
milk. Whip well. In the second pan, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup bread crumbs,
1 t salt, and 1/2 tsp each of pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
5. Start with coating the meat with the egg wash. Shake to remove
excess. Coat well in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
6. Place in the 365-degree oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side.
About a minute into each side, shake the pan a little to move the meat
a little, this will keep it from sticking and help it be crispy.
7. Cook until golden brown and internal temp of 160 plus. You
will need to adjust heat to keep the oil in the 365 range. You will
not be able to keep it perfect but be aware you need to turn up the
heat. Between batches, you should turn the heat down to keep it from
overheating.
8. Transfer the completed tenderloin to the heated oven and pan
to keep warm for serving.

Excellent, Bravo! These were a staple of my Western Illinois/Eastern Iowa childhood, and something I dearly miss them, for some odd reason they are totally unknown in Chicago.

One can order online from Amana Meat Shop he

https://www.amanameatshop.com/prod_d...rk-tenderloins

"If you've spent any time in the Midwest, you have probably experienced a Breaded Pork Tenderloin. Our pork tenderloins come from the leanest part of the loin, tenderized twice and blanketed with a light batter and cracker-crumb coating. Best if fried in your favorite oil and served with your favorite condiments.

HOW TO COOK: Breaded pork tenderloins are best deep fried the old-fashioned way. Preheat oil to 375ยฐF. Add tenderloins and fry until golden brown and float to top of the oil. Cook approximately 5 minutes, turning half way through cooking time. Color and time may vary depending on your oil and fryer; make sure not to overcook. Keep frozen until cooking. Serve with your favorite condiments, bun is optional..."


Your receipt is a good one, I will attempt it...

Best

If it's something you've made previously why pray tell did you need to
search for a recipe???

What did you do with the pork chop bone? And why buy thick chops if
you're going to slice them thinner?!?!? Doncha know pounding meat
breaks the muscle cells causing the meat to dry and toughen? Iffn you
want thin simply slice thinly (cutlets), or it you're ascared to wield
a sharp knife ask the butcher. Next time the urge to pound meat
overcomes you I'm sure your hubby will gladly oblige.

Needs some herbs... Eyetalian herb blend works well. I prepare this
very often with pork loin or skinless boneless chick titties... herbs
make all the difference. The best, can't cook anything Italiano

That seems overly complicated. I use a 12" pan for frying and as done
stand on edge in paper towel lined caserole for absorbing excess oil.
Reheat in nuker or drape with hot tomato sauce and top with fresh
cooked pasta. Tonights dinner will be fried saw-seege with pasta in
tomato sauce... been done for hours, just need to put it on a low
simmer flame.
Ain't ya eber heard that a picture is worth a thousand woids?

Mostly the Costco chops are center cut without bone.

Price...

Quality of the pork...

I've not had that problem with pork, ymmv.

You do realize this is how a cube steak is prep'd too, yes?

But she obviously isn't - hence her explanation of how she cut them down.

But this is an /Iowan/ dish, not an "Eyetalian" one.

A company run by a hard left ideologue.

Good spices, bad politics.

Why are you giving them YOUR bidnits?

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ack-on-trump-/

CEO Bill Penzey continues attack on Trump voters: "He has no constituency

The CEO of a nationwide spice retail chain is continuing his attack on
President-elect Donald Trumps supporters, painting them as a bunch of
uneducated, white heterosexual males that his company is actually doing
better without.

Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey made headlines last month for comments he
made in an email newsletter to customers slamming Trump supporters for
electing €œan openly racist candidate.€ He remained unapologetic amid the
backlash and accused Republicans of committing €œthe biggest act of
racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse
doorway 53 years ago.€

On Thursday, Mr. Penzey penned an open letter urging Americas CEOs to
join in rejecting the president-elect.

€œIn the aftermath of the election, seeing the intentional damage
inflicted on so many outside the white heterosexual male world, we
raised our voice. We felt we had to,€ he wrote. €œAnd while the reasons
for why we took a stand might be specific to our unique outlook, what we
learned actually applies to all commerce in the United States. What we
learned is that President-elect Donald Trump has no real support.
Voters, sure, but no constituency. Running a campaign on "that
horrible-terrible-woman who should be locked up, while at the same time
working to raise fear of minorities among white voters with limited
access to education, clearly achieved its goal. But none of it left
Americans with any sense of connection to the candidate they actually
voted for.€

Mr. Penzey said that while the company has lost many of its angry,
fringe-right customers, online sales are actually up 59.9 percent and
gift box sales up 135 percent since his original newsletter.

That's nice, so?

??? Wait a sec? Loin chops? I thought that regional favourite was made
with tenderloin.

It looks good and I have seen it on cooking shows. It wasn't that long
ago that there was a discussion here about tenderloin and some people
were quite confused about what cut of pork it is.

What you made was an enhanced pork schnitzel. They are typically made
with a slice of pork loin that it pounded out to a fraction of the
sliced thickness, then breaded and fried.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/p...recipe-2013974


I'm not saying what you made would not be good.... just pointing out
that the Iowa sandwich involves pork tenderloin, not loin.


The tenderloin is one of my favourite cuts of pork. I think it is one of
the most versatile cuts. It can be roasted whole, marinated and
roasted, stuffed and roasted. It can be cut up and marinated in a
variety of marinades. When I was a kid my mother usually Frenched it
and did a schnitzel type of treatment on it, but didn't pound it out
that much.

One of my favourite treatments, but not a heart healthy one, is to pound
slice the tenderloin into medallions and fry them in butter, take them
out and then use the leftover butter to make a cream sauce that can
involve things like mushroom. One of the best I ever tried was to add
sliced dried apricot and curry.

Pshaw, popeye, a teeny 12 inch pan ain't no good. What if bluto comes
for dinner? Use a 24 inch skillet for those long cattle drives to Lung
Guyland, from yoose ranch in uppity-state noo yawk. Don't forget the 20
gallon iron kettle for the beans. And 100 lb cornmeal on the chuckwagon
for soppin' bread.


Does Olive Oyl pound yoose saw-seege while yoose cooks for the cowboys?

Inspired by an Iowa farmland specialty, our Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
uses premium /center-cut pork loin/. Hand breaded with seasoned cracker
crumbs and fried golden brown on a lightly buttered, toasted bun.

And just like Sheldon, it's ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOU ONLY, right
canucklehead???

The woman cooks a traditional regional specialty, nails it, shares her
recipe and methodology and the best YOU can do it nitpick the **** out
of it and go off on some old fart reverie about your mommy's pork
'chops' (pun intended)...

YOU are the reason people stop sharing here.

YOU are the type of self-important ego-diaper who sucks the damned life
out of a room.

The term "psychic vampire" would not be misapplied to you, trucker bully.

Now go on, insult your wife by calling her Megatron again and be sure to
rip on your favourite target "the sisterhood of stupidity", cuz that's
really the main reason you roost here in the first place.

See now THIS is an example of sharing but not tearing down.

Sheldon, she is trying to make an authentic Iowa pork tenderloin, not some side job of
an Italian sandwich. Stick to what you know. ;-)). And since you don't know, the tenderloin
sandwich made like this is neither dry nor inedible. I cannot answer for the Amana Colonies
Mail order tenderloins...I have never had them by mail. But nearly every family restaurant
or diner around here (southeast quadrant of Iowa) will serve one which is delicious, tender
and juicy.

Janet, your recipe looks fine...nothing mysterious, they are super simple. Enjoy. I suspect
you have a very satisfied partner.

It's a great sammich, and dsi1's Katsu variant is cool too.

I've had the Culver's product and enjoyed it.

Pork is hard to get wrong.

She was kind to share her recipe with us.

I remember that series. Best I know the 'Loin' is the big one (8 or
more lbs) and the 'Tenderloin' is the little one (1-2lbs). Of them, I
use the loin. They aren't the same cut but are similiar in other ways.

Meantime dinner is almost ready. It's a little off the beaten path but
then so am I.

2 small sausage patties each (home made, seasonings posted before but
can again on request), simple fried potatoes with onions, basil and
onion in olive oil. Chopped cabbage wilting in the remaining olive oil
soon.

Added is a variation on this.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Raisin-Rum loaf, xxcarol favorite
Categories: Xxcarol, Breadmaker
Yield: 12 Servings

1/2 c Sour cream
1/3 c Water
1 ea Egg
3 tb Dark rum
2 ts Butter
1 ts Vanilla powder
3 c Flour
3 tb Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Yeast
1/2 c Dark raisins

Oh this is good! It's a 1.5lb loaf set to white bread. It comes out
a brown color as if it was a wheat bread and it's quite sweet like a
dessert bread.

Needs nothing to accompany it, just slice and eat!

From one of my breadmaker books, with powdered vanilla added by
xxcarol

From the VB kitchen of xxcarol, 16JAN2008

----------

This time use banana

I think I missed the part where it had something to do with the famous
Iowa pork tenderloin sandwich and the recipe you posted that called for
pork tenderloin. As I pointed out in the post that seems to have
offended you, some people here have confused pork tenderloin with pork
loin. I am not the only one who noted that.

Why are you such a ****ing nitpicking assbag?

The sammich can be made with any pork loin, tender or otherwise.

Having seen photos, but never eaten, the tenderloin sandwich I was
skeptical that is was an actual tenderloin. It is quite a large
diameter. So . . . I cut up a tenderloin and pounded it out. Yes, you
can get that big patty out of it. You only get 4 or five from the
tenderloin.

You can also get a good sandwich from pounding out a slice of loin, but
loin is not tenderloin. Akin to calling a strip steak filet mignon.

I apologize for my abrupt answer. Any time a response comes after one
from Sheldon I am apt to be ugly.
As to the pork I used. I was happy to find a way to use what I had.
As I noted, I copied the instructions as given and allowed as how each
of the good cooks here could find a way to adapt the recipe to their
needs -- myself included.

Loin or tenderloin didn't matter to me. I wanted an additional way to
use what I had.

The recipe posted specifically called for tenderloin. The heading of
the post though, correctly says pork sandwich sice a substitute was
used. Proper terminology counts. No one calls notbob, Bob. Would be
confusing.

Did it a couple of months ago. Easy to do. I was surprised it was so
simple and so good. Had my doubts until I did it. Made four of them
from one tenderloin.

That is what counts. Nothing wrong with a substitute if you like the
end result.

It sounded good to me. I would have gladly traded my supper of leftover
meat loaf, macaroni&cheese, spinach, and biscuit.

Don't know about now, but long ago, in the midwest, they ran hogs
through the harvested corn fields to glean the leavings, and they
produced some dam fine pork in the process. I imagine some very good
recipes resulted.

The katsu sando is pretty much a regular pork cutlet sandwich except the cutlet is coated with panko and made with slices of pullman loaf white bread with the crust cut off and sliced into rectangles. It has shredded cabbage and will almost always be photographed sliced side up. I'm giving katsu sando 2 years to make it big stateside.

Tonight I made spicy chicken thighs. The marinade was Park's Brand Kim Chee Sauce, chili garlic sauce, shoyu, a lot of garlic and honey. My aim was a very spicy piece of chicken - mission accomplished. The chicken was marinated overnight and then sous vide for and hour and 20 minutes after wiping off most of the marinade. Rice flour and flour was then added to the marinade to make a thick batter. The chicken was dipped in the batter and fried at high temperature in oil. The chicken came out very dark because of the large amount of honey. It came out exactly as I was aiming for.

That is super creative but also quite dark.

OK I get the honey will do that when fried.

How was the taste, was it a caramel flavor?

Or more on the candy sweet side?

It has the spicy heat of pretty hot kim chee and a sweet taste of teriyaki sauce. It's two separate and distinct flavors and a wonderful combination. Parks Brand Kim Chee Sauce is like a sledgehammer of heat. It's great stuff but I'd like to come up with a substitute for it because that product could disappear at any moment. Anyway, the next time I make this it'll be sous vide first then a marinade for a day or so and then fried.

My recipe is based on this:

Default Iowa pork sandwich

It has occurred to me, in the midst of this "loin or tenderloin" discussion, that since Iowa
was originally settled by large communities of immigrants from Germany, I wonder if the
original cut of pork has always been the loin (like that used for a pork schnitzel) but when a
slice of loin is tenderized to a generous-sized 1/4" thick slice, the sandwich became a "Tender
Loin Sandwich." And then a listener or a recipe writer wrote "Tenderloin Sandwich." It doesn't
matter but it is something to consider since most of us here use a slice of loin, not tenderloin.

As a matter of fact, instead of pounding a loin chop to tenderize it, I ask the butcher to
run it through the tenderizer twice, turning it 180 degrees for the second run. That
produces a perfectly tenderized, thick enough, and juicy sandwich filling.

IMO, turning it 90 degrees would tenderize it much better. 180
degrees is pretty much redundant.

Everyone is confusing the recipe (which you clearly stated adapt) with
the fact that you cut some thick cut pork chops to make Iowa *style*
pork sandwiches. The important thing is you both enjoyed them.
