Crispy Baked Sesame Pork Strips
Crispy on the outside and tender within, these baked pork strips deliver all the crunch of deep-frying without the hassle. A savory blend of sesame seeds, ground mustard, and baking mix creates a golden, flavorful crust that clings perfectly to the meat. They're an easy, satisfying option that doubles as a fun appetizer or a casual main course. Just pair them with your favorite sweet-and-sour sauce or a tangy mustard dip for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless pork loin chops, 1 inch thick
- 1 1 ⁄ 4 cups Original Bisquick mix
- 1 ⁄ 3 cup sesame seed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Trim any excess fat from the pork loin chops, then cut the meat into 1/4-inch thick slices. Cut those slices into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- 2In a medium shallow dish, mix the baking mix, sesame seeds, salt, ground mustard, and paprika. In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs and milk with a fork until smooth.
- 3Dip the pork strips into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge them thoroughly in the dry baking mix. Arrange the coated strips in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the pork. The butter helps the crust turn golden and crispy in the oven.
- 4Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the coating is brown and crisp. Serve hot with sweet-and-sour sauce or mustard for dipping.
Notes
- Variation: Swap the pork for 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts and follow the exact same coating and baking instructions.
- Dipping: These pair exceptionally well with sweet-and-sour sauce, honey mustard, or a spicy chili crisp.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer to restore the crunch. Don't use the microwave, or the coating will turn soggy.
