Born and raised Hoosier here. Traditional pork tenderloin sandwiches are usually lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mayo but nobody cares how you want it dressed. We’re not like other states with something they do and get bent out of shape if it’s not exactly the way they do it. It’s all about the fried pork meat. Great job.

@jamesmetzler2031 Ай бұрын

Exactly the way I like a pork tenderloin sandwich! Mayo, mustard, pickles and onions. My mouth was watering. And as a German American, I love a schnitzel too! On a plate with spaetzle and gravy. And a really good beer!

Grew up In Iowa with these..mustard and onion for me😋😋

@robwilkie5382 Ай бұрын

Thing of beauty!! Perfectly cooked.

@JayGreen-r7g Ай бұрын

It looks good. I add some hot sauce. Usually, I use a boneless pork chop that I had the butcher tenderize. It’s just as tender and saves me from some messing with the meat.

Indiana here!!!! Used to travel the state working on fleet vehicles. Used to stop and awesome little restaurants across the state and get a tenderloin sandwich. It was so big we ordered an extra bun eat the rest for dinner lol.

I am originally from Indiana, but I currently live near Athens, GA. I have had Pork Tenderloin sandwiches from a few different places in Indiana. One of the best was from Plainfield Tavern in Plainfield, IN (West-Southwest of Indianapolis). Thank you for making this video.

You did a nice job on that tenderloin sandwich. I would like to see you try another Midwest sandwich. A Maid-Rite or an Iowa loose meat sandwich. On a flattop you will probable need to doom it to keep it moist.

As a born and raised Hoosier, the best pork tenderloin sandwich I have ever had was at a county fair. It was pounded thin (less than 1/4") and then battered and deep fried to order. The batter was almost like a tempura. It was amazing to the point my wife and I still talk about it over 10 yrs later. She regrets having the homemade beef and noodles instead of getting a tenderloin sandwich. Also, dress it how you want. I've never met anyone that insists a pork tenderloin be dressed a certain way, or that its a crime against humanity to put something on it that's not "traditional."

Indiana native here. I am on several of the BPT groups on FB and seldom see discussion on what to top it with. (I personally am a lettuce, onion, ketsup and mayo guy) The biggest discussion is around the thickness and breaded or battered and size (required to be at least 2x the bun size State law ya know). The best ones I have had are at least 1/4-3/8" thick. I have had good and bad ones both breaded and battered, so I have no preference. Glad you gave it a go. If you are ever in the north central Indiana area, hit me up and I'll take you to one of the best places in the state for a BPT.

Good one, nice technique on making the thin cut, had not done that before. Good recipe for the griddle and the technique of the griddle deep fry. I have my Blackstone set with a slight tilt forward so the oil and or bacon grease stays pretty stable while cooking.

OMG !! Acme Bar and Grill , E. State Street , Ft. Wayne , Indiana !! Ate lots of them there . Breaded pork tenderloin sandwich , pickle & onion . Their's were just about the same diameter as the plate they came came on !! I'm gonna guess that they pounded them out .

I'm a Midwest guy and the BPT is king around here. Nice cook, I enjoy white onion, ketchup, and yellow mustard on my PTs but stone ground-mustard is also great, or an aioli, and even mayo works well with end. The condiment-combos are endless. Grilled PTs are also really dang tasty, try a shallow-fry sometimes!

@brunoloiselle2710 Ай бұрын

@billbanta7189 Ай бұрын

My Blackstone primarily sets where the back right corner is the lowest, so oil pools there. I prefer it that way rather than level. It is a nice place to shallow fry, or as you say a nice place to drag oil from rather than adding more. Also, it works great for saving a bit of that bacon grease when frying bacon.

@PitMasterJBackyardBBQ-up2rj Ай бұрын

Here in Ohio we're very familiar with this gem! Sooo gooood! I've used the flat top also. It works fine. Nothin wrong with adding your favorite toppings. Think about 2 strips of bacon there too...

A magnificent sandwich! We ate these every time we went to Iowa for decades. Funny, most places use pork loin instead of tenderloin, or even pounded out pork butt. And , yep, mustard pickle onion on a cheap white bun! Same as with the other Iowa classic, maid rites! If you try to add ketchup, you get hauled out to the alley and taught some respect. 😊

I live in a humid climate and I would clean my flat top to your recommendations. Which I am sure is the overall best. But I would find rust trying to form after a week of non-use. Now, I have switched to cleaning all particulates but leaving more fat on it to protect it. I can always scrape it towards the grease trap when I start the next cook. Am I doing it wrong?

As a lifelong Indianaman (outside of a few dark years that we don't talk about), I approve! I don't think I've ever seen one crusted in saltines though. Sounds interesting. As far as how to eat one, it's the dealer's choice, but most people will cut the excess off and stack it under the bun. I've seen piles of them dressed just like you did. I'd say we don't really have a right or wrong on that one.

I never heard of this before, and I had to look it up. My first impression was, "No, that's wrong, you should slice it across the grain and get burger-size pieces" because they will be more tender after you cook them. It seems, though, that this is just the way it's done. Can anyone explain why?

@kaythompson8721 Ай бұрын

I grew up in northwest Ohio (currently live in central Ohio) and we always referred to it as a pork tenderloin sandwich. You could get it breaded or grilled...but duh...who would want it grilled!! I've always gotten in with lettuce, mayo, pickle & onion...NO cheese.
