Cut the tenderloin into 1/2 inch steaks. Slice each steak in half horizontally, working from the smallest toward the largest side, leaving only a very small section keeping the halves attached. Make a few small cuts on the outer edges of each steak to keep them from curling when frying.

Preheat the oil and bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. In a large shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg and milk together. In another shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs and cracker crumbs.

Dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, then use a meat mallet to pound them to just slightly less than their 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then coat both sides of each steak with the crumbs. Set them aside on a clean plate. When all the steaks are evenly coated, gently place the prepared steaks in a single layer into the hot oil.

Fry the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle each steak lightly with lemon juice.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
