    • 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
  3. Place each pork piece between two sheets of plastic wrap.
  4. Evenly pound meat with a meat tenderizer mallet using gentle taps with the flat end of the mallet until 1/4-inch thick.
  5. Season both sides of the pork cutlets with:
    • salt & pepper
  6. In a small plate combine:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • salt & pepper

  8. In another small plate combine:
    • 1 cup bread crumbs
    • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
  9. Place pork cutlet and press into flour mixture until thoroughly covered. Shake off excess flour.
