Pan-Seared Marinated Pork Cutlets with a Parmesan-Garlic Crust

Directions

1. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; transfer to a large resealable bag. Place pork pieces in marinade and turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours.
2. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl.
3. Set oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4. Heat canola oil in a large, heavy, oven-safe skillet, such as a cast-iron skillet, over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade and reserve the marinade. Sear marinated pork pieces in the hot oil just until lightly browned but still pink in the center, about 2 minutes. Turn pork over and pour in reserved marinade. Turn heat to high and cook pork for 1 more minute.
5. Spoon crust mixture over cutlets in skillet and broil in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

"I marinated the pork for only 2 1/2 hours and otherwise followed the directions as written. We thought this was good, but when it came to the leftovers, there were no takers. We use that as a hallma..." See morerk of a recipe. I love all the ingredients, but for some reason they seemed like they'd do better with chicken tenders rather than pork tenderloin--and maybe they were just a little dry. I appreciate the recipe and would try it again with a little sauce over the top made with lemon juice and butter."
