Pan-Seared Marinated Pork Cutlets with a Parmesan-Garlic Crust Recipe

Pan-Seared Marinated Pork Cutlets with a Parmesan-Garlic Crust Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 sprig fresh parsley, or as desired
  1. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; transfer to a large resealable bag. Place pork pieces in marinade and turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours.
  2. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl.
  3. Set oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  4. Heat canola oil in a large, heavy, oven-safe skillet, such as a cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade and reserve the marinade. Sear marinated pork pieces in the hot oil just until lightly browned but still pink in the center, about 2 minutes. Turn pork over and pour in reserved marinade. Turn heat to high and cook pork for 1 more minute.
  5. Spoon crust mixture over cutlets in skillet and broil in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
