- Butterfly tenderloin by using a sharp knife and cut horizontally from the side, almost in half. Open, like a book and flatten tenderloin slightly by hand. With a clean paper towel, pat dry.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, cumin, salt and cayenne. Dip butterflied tenderloins into mixture, coating both sides well.
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté coated tenderloins in oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until outside is golden brown, inside is no longer pink and the internal temperature is 170 degrees F.
- Remove tenderloins and place on cutting board. Thinly slice across the grain. Serve with fruit salsas.
