These are representative of what my great Uncle Joe's tenderloins should end up looking like!
These are cut from a pork loin into about 1" slices which are spiced and pounded out flat to make them about 1/2" thick.
For the traditional breading we would use all purpose flour and in the Paleo friendly version of this classic, we use gluten free flour mixed with non gmo corn flakes/corn flake crumbs.
These are the best tenderloins I have ever experienced and I have tasted them all over the country!

5. Mix the gluten free flour and corn flake crumbs together in the other pie plate for the coating.

- Pounding the tenderloins even and the right thickness takes practice so don’t be discouraged!
