Golden Fried Cubed Pork And Sawmill Gravy Food

FRIED PORK TENDERLOIN AND SAWMILL GRAVY

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 3/4 inch thick pieces.
• In a shallow bowl, mix together all purpose flour, seasoned salt and black pepper until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup for the gravy and set aside.
• Use the remaining 1/2 cup to dust both sides of the sliced pork tenderloin.
• Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil and 3 Tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brown the tenderloin in batches cooking for around 4 minutes on each side. Adjust depending on thickness. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
• To make grav: Reserve 2 Tbsp of pan drippings and add 3 Tbsp of butter.
• Sprinkle the 1/4 cup reserved flour into the pan and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute scraping any brown bits from bottom of pan.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, tarragon and poultry seasoning.
• After all of the milk has been added, bring to a boil to thicken, then immediately lower the heat whisking constantly. Let the gravy slowly bubble for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, over low heat. Adjust salt and black pepper to your taste.
• You may adjust the consistency adding more milk to thin, if desired. Serve immediately drizzled over pork tenderloin.

GOLDEN FRIED CUBED PORK AND SAWMILL GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Dredge cubed pork pieces in flour and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine egg and milk. Dip pork in milk and egg mixture and coat with remaining flour. You may use a little more flour, if necessary.
• 2. Heat oil in large skillet (I use a cast iron skillet). When hot, add a couple of pork pieces at a time and fry to golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and fry for about 3 more minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. (Note that cooking time may be slightly longer, depending on the thickness of the cubed pork).
• 3. Prepare Gravy and serve over cubed pork.
• 4. SAWMILL GRAVY: Heat bacon grease in skillet (I use a cast iron skillet) and then add flour, sugar, salt and pepper, cooking until lightly browned.
• 5. Add milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly using metal spatula or whisk (I prefer spatula). Reduce heat and continue stirring until desired consistancy.
• 6. If gravy seems too thick, you may add a little more milk until the consistancy is right. If gravy seems too thin, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of flour in a glass measuring cup and whisk in just enough milk to make a pourable paste. Add mixture to gravy and return to heat, stirring until thickened.

FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH HOMEMADE TABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Pour the buttermilk into a shallow baking dish and set aside. In another shallow baking dish, stir together the flour and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the House Seasoning and set aside.
• Stir together the hot sauce, mustard and the remaining teaspoon of the House Seasoning in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning onto both sides of the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the buttermilk and turn to coat completely.
• Pour enough oil into a large cast-iron skillet to come 1 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F.
• Working with one piece at a time, remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat in the flour mixture and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until the chops are browned and reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain.
• For the table gravy: Meanwhile, drain the oil from the skillet. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in the half-and-half, a little at a time. Bring the gravy to a simmer and simmer until thickened, whisking occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the House Seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
