The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is a derivative of the Wiener Schnitzel and is prominent in the Great Lakes region of the United States, particularly Indiana.The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich was the subject of a 1998 documentary film, In Search of the Famous Hoosier Breaded Tenderloin. In the documentary, the two filmmakers search throughout Indiana in search of the perfect Pork Tenderloin sandwich.

Having recently found a smallish pork tenderloin tucked away in our freezer, I decided to make a tasty little feast out of the little guy. I went in with absolutely no plan of action, and since Melanie recently emptied our jar of sundried tomatoes, I thought marinating the Pork with the left over oil would be a great way to start!

The next time that you are planning to serve steak for dinner, you MUST try this recipe! The rich and complex Cuban-Espresso sauce is hands-down one of the best that I have ever had. Not in the mood for steak? Try it with pork tenderloin or grilled chicken. The zesty spice rub and sauce will work well with these meats too.

Serves 6.
