It’s summertime which means time for a new recipe at the Homestead. 🙂 This recipe is sure to be one of the favorite dishes at your next summer picnic!
Recently, I purchased pork tenderloin at the supermarket. Sautéed, sliced pork tenderloin has always been a favorite in our house. However, it’s a dish that we eat often, and I knew we would all enjoy a new twist on our old favorite.
I searched through some recipes on the internet, considering gluten free ingredients and the spices that my family preferred, and I came up with a new recipe: Country Fair Pork! I butterflied the tenderloin, marinated them in a mix of seven spices, then dredged them in flour and gently fried them on each side.
Why the name Country Fair Pork? Because when my husband tasted this new dish, he exclaimed,
“This tastes like something we would get at the country fair!”
I hope you enjoy my country fair pork when you want to spice things up a bit.
Gluten Free Country Fair Fried Pork
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 pork tenderloins
Instructions
- Butterfly: There are 2 pork tenderloins in the package. Cut each across into 3 pieces. Then butterfly each piece by making a lengthwise cut along the vertical side. Stop about 1/2 inch through, open and lay flat.
- Sprinkle with spice rub: Combine all seven spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly on the meat and rub over both sides. Let meat marinate for 1/2 hour in the refrigerator.
- Dredge in flour and fry: Heat oil in a skillet over a medium-high heat. Dredge each tenderloin piece in flour and fry in batches about 4 minutes on each side. Set aside.

I would like to add a suggestion: Perhaps it’s a typo, but you have “all purpose flour” listed as an ingredient. It is wheat and not gluten free. Bob’s Red Mill does have gluten-free flour and also white rice flour, which you can use in this recipe and most others. I even make baked goods with white rice flour, just substituting equal volumes for the all-purpose flour listed in the recipe. All the best in your GF journey!
