Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound the 4 pork cutlets to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Set up a breading station with 0.5 cup flour in one dish, 2 beaten eggs in another, and 1 cup breadcrumbs in a third.

  2. Step 2

    Dredge each cutlet in the flour, then dip in the egg, then press into the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the cutlets in a single layer, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (no pink inside). Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add the 1 sliced onion and 1 sliced green pepper. Sauté over medium heat until soft and lightly charred, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Spread 2 tbsp barbecue sauce on the bottom of each of the 4 buns. Place a cutlet on each, then top with the onion-pepper mixture and the remaining barbecue sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Close the sandwiches and serve warm.
