PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Trim pork tenderloin of any fat and silver skin, and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Pound the cutlets using a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness, flattening each piece.
• Combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a second dish. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third dish.
• Dry cutlets with paper towels, and dredge each in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off any excess. Next dredge tenderloins in the egg-buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess. Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
• Spread each roll with mayonnaise then add lettuce, pickle slices, and cutlets.

CRISPY PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Make the pork: Cut the tenderloin into quarters; using a meat mallet, pound each piece until it is 1/4 inch thick and about 6 inches wide. Mix the buttermilk and barbecue rub in a baking dish, add the pork, cover and let marinate overnight or up to 2 days.
• In a large deep saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Take the pork out of the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
• Make a three-stage breading station with the flour, eggs and crouton crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Place the pork pieces first in the flour, turning to coat; shake off the excess. Dip the pork in the beaten egg and let the excess drip off, then dredge in the crouton crumbs, pressing until total coverage is achieved.
• Fry the pork in batches until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Let drain on a paper towel?lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Make the aioli: Mix the mayonnaise, habanero sauce and granulated garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt.
• Build the sandwiches: Place the crispy pork on the toasted buns with some pickle slices, shredded lettuce and then a nice schmear of the aioli. Serve with extra aioli on the side.

PORK LOIN SANDWICH MEAT

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• On a large sheet of aluminum foil, shiny side up, place the pork loin. Rub it with the canola oil and crimp the sides to make a bowl all around it making certain to leave enough foil to close over the roast.
• Pour the water into the aluminum foil pouch.
• Rub the honey and mustard over the top of the pork. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the diced tomatoes over the top.
• Seal the aluminum foil pouch around the roast and place it on a roasting sheet or in a pan to catch any juices that might escape. Place it in the oven and roast it for 6 hours.
• Remove the pork from the foil pouch, saving the juices and tomato bits in another dish, and cool the meat to room temperature. NOTE: The finished pork will not have much color as it was not seared or browned before the long, slow cooking process.
• In a skillet, cook the juices and tomatoes over a medium heat until reduced to a glaze. Pour this glaze over the pork roast and place in the refrigerator.
• Shred or slice the pork into very small pieces for use on sandwiches, in omelets, or other applications.

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Soak the red onion in a bowl of ice water. Mix the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Toss the peppers with the olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Season the pork with salt, pepper, the paprika and cumin and rub all over. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Arrange the peppers and pork on the grill and cover. Grill the peppers, turning once or twice, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until well marked and just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes; remove to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes.
• Drain the red onion and blot dry. Thinly slice the pork and arrange on the baguette bottoms. Top with some of the garlic mayonnaise, then the red onion, arugula and bread tops. Serve with the shishito peppers; season with salt.

PORK LOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve the salt and sugar in 8 cups of cold water. Add the black peppercorns and squeeze in 2 of the halved lemons. Submerge the pork in the brine for 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine and dry off. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sear each side of the loin until golden, about 8 minutes total -- keep turning until it's golden all over. Add the sliced onions to the pan alongside the pork, and stir around to coat the onions in fat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees F, about 30 minutes. For even cooking, be sure to stir the onions once or twice during roasting.
• For the sandwich build: Butter the pretzel bun halves and griddle them until golden brown. With a sharp knife, slice the loin into thin shavings. Spread some mustard on the bottom half of each bun, then top with some sliced pork. Sprinkle the pork with a little salt and squeeze the remaining lemon halves over the top. Top with the roasted onions and some Pickled Fresno Peppers. Eat while standing.
• Bring the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the sugar, salt, bay leaf and garlic to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the peppers in a bowl or container. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate.

PORK CHOP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the flour and spices together for a dredge and place in a pie pan or similar flat vessel. I like mine spicy, so feel free to adjust the spices to fit your tastes.
• Place beaten eggs in second pie pan.
• Place breadcrumbs in third pie pan.
• Place chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until they are roughly 1/2" thick. I actually use my 48 needle meat tenderizer and dredge the chops in the flour/spice mixture prior to tenderizing to force some of the spices into the meat.
• Dredge chop in flour/spice mixture.
• Dip into beaten eggs, making sure both sides are well coated.
• Dredge in the breadcrumbs, thoroughly coating both sides.
• Place chop in pan, frying 3-4 minutes per side, until GBAD (golden brown and delicious).
• Drain briefly on paper towels or cake rack in a coookie sheet.
• Place on bun with condiments and garnishes of your choice. Traditional is yellow mustard, onion slice, tomato slice and lettuce. My brother likes applesauce, but then, he puts catsup on tacos, so what does he know? ;).

YOU'RE THE BEST COLD CUT AROUND

Steps:

• Clip (or stand) sous vide machine to a tall large pot. Fill pot with warm water to height according to manufacturer's instructions (keep in mind that water will rise when pork is added).
• Mix brown sugar, salt, onion powder, oregano, fennel, paprika, coriander, and cardamom in a small bowl to combine. Rub all over pork. Place pork in bag, along with any stray spices from bowl.
• Vacuum-seal or partially close resealable bag, getting as much air out as possible to keep bag from floating, and place in water bath. If using a resealable plastic bag, push down into water until only the open edge of bag is exposed (this will push more air out of the bag), then seal.
• Turn on machine and heat water to 140°F. Cook pork 8 hours, giving you just enough time to watch two episodes of This Is Us, read a couple chapters of your book, floss, brush, sleep, get up, get dressed, brush your teeth, and eat a bowl of cereal.
• Pull out bag of pork, chill it in an ice bath or refrigerator, thinly slice it, and make yourself one of the greatest sandwiches you've ever eaten while sitting at your desk at work. (Quit your job and follow your dream of opening a sandwich shop!)

ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.
• Sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast for two hours or until temperature of center of pork registers 150-160 degrees (145 degrees is the new "safe" temp for pork.).
• Melt butter over roast while it is still in the roasting pan.
• Remove roast from pan, saving the drippings and juice.
• Add Au Jus mix and water to drippings and cook according to directions on package.
• Place bread in the oven (which has been turned off just after the roast is done) and let it crisp a bit. The heat will help to melt the cheese better than just the heat of the meat will.
• Let roast cool for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
• Pile pork and cheese on bread while meat is still hot.
• Serve with Au Jus dipping gravy on the side and LOTS o' napkins.
