Rosemary Roast Pork Sandwiches Au Jus Food

ROSEMARY GARLIC PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil with the thyme, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Spray a skillet that's oven safe with cooking spray. Place the pork loin in the skillet and rub the pork with the rosemary garlic rub thoroughly.
• Sear the pork over high heat on all sides until nicely browned. Top with more garlic cloves if preferred and add garlic bulbs to the skillet.
• Roast the pork covered with aluminum foil for the first 50 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for another 20 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork is at least 145°F/62.8°C to 160°F/71.1°C.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and place the pork on a cutting board. Cover the meat completely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes before cutting it and serving it.

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.

ROSEMARY ROAST PORK SANDWICHES AU JUS

• Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Rub evenly over pork. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes, browning on all sides. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160 degrees(slightly pink). Remove pork from pan; cut diagonally across grain into 12 slices.
• Return pan to medium-high heat; add broth, scraping pan to loosen any browned bits. Add sherry and tomato paste, stir with a whisk. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Cut French rolls in half horizontally. Place 2 pork slices on bottom half of each roll; top with a lettuce leaf, if desired. Cover with roll tops. Serve with au jus.

PHILADEPHIA ROAST PORK SANDWICH

Steps:

• Remove raw meat from wrapping and lay flat on a clean dry surface.
• Sprinkle each side with the seasoning ingredients: salt, black pepper, herbs, garlic, and olive oil (see herb note). I always use salt first so it really can sink into the meat.
• After seasoning, fold roast in half (if using deboned roast; otherwise no fold or roll necessary) and secure with butcher or kitchen twice and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to rest.
• Allow meat to absorb flavorings for a minimum of 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Before cooking, unwrap roast and allow the roast to come to room temperature for about 45 minutes.
• In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• While the oven is preheating, begin browning the meat on the stove top. Coat the bottom of a large pan with olive oil and brown the roast on all sides on the stove top. Time to browning will vary depending on power of burner. You'll just need a little color on the roast.
• Prepare to oven roast the meat. Add carrots, celery, onion and wine to a roasting pan, and immediately transfer the roast on top of vegetables.
• Roasting time will vary according to weight of your roast (guideline is 20 min per pound uncovered; I covered mine so the juices accumulated and didn't burn off and mine was finished in about 15 minutes per pound, which totaled 1 hour for a 4 pound roast). Finished temperature should read 145 degrees F.
• Alternatively, the meat can be cooked in the slow cooker (suggested slow cooker time is 2 to 4 hours on low; check meat early for finished cooked temperature of 145 degrees F.)
• After the meat is cooked, allow it to cool for 10 minutes and then slice very thinly.
• While the meat is cooking, prepare the broccoli rabe.
• Rinse the broccoli rabe thoroughly and break or cut about 1/2 inch from the ends, which can be very tough.
• Fill a large pot (big enough to cover broccoli rabe with water), add water and salt (1 teaspoon per quart of water), and bring to a boil.
• When the water is boiling, submerge the broccoli rabe and cook for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, until just tender.
• In a medium-sized frying pan, saute red pepper flakes and 1 clove of minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant.
• Add the cooked broccoli rabe, toss only until flavored, and set aside until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches.
• After the pork has been removed from the pan and add chicken broth to the drippings.
• Strain the au jus, place in a medium sized saute pan, and heat until warmed.
• Taste and adjust salt and pepper, to taste
• Add the sliced pork to the warmed au jus (ensure the au jus is not too hot or your meat will continue to cook). Slice rolls or baguette
• To make sandwiches, layer bread with provolone cheese (on bottom), followed by a pile of hot sliced or shredded pork in the au jus, and top with the broccoli rabe and peppers.

CUBAN-STYLE SANDWICHES WITH GREEN CHILE AU JUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet or 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan with cooking spray. Drain juice from pork roast into blender; set aside. Shred or chop pork into bite-size pieces; set aside. Unroll dough into 1 large (about 14x9-inch) rectangle. With kitchen scissors or sharp knife, cut dough crosswise making 2 (9x7-inch) rectangles. Sprinkle each dough rectangle with 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon garlic. Place half of ham and half of cheese in 3-inch-wide strip lengthwise down center of each dough rectangle. Divide pork evenly over cheese. Bring long sides of dough up over filling to meet in center; pinch seam to seal. Pinch ends to seal. With pancake turner, place seam side down on cookie sheet or 15x10x1-inch pan. Cut 3 diagonal slashes in top of each sandwich. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet; place on wire rack. Cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour broth and undrained green chiles into blender with juice from pork; blend on medium-high speed 15 to 30 seconds or until smooth. Pour juice mixture into 2-cup microwavable measuring cup. To serve, microwave juice mixture on High 2 to 3 minutes or until hot; divide mixture into 4 (6- or 8-oz) ramekins or cups. Cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Serve sandwiches with juice mixture for dipping. High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake 27 to 32 minutes.

SMOKED PORK PHILLY WITH GARLIC AU JUS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F. Add a small amount of wood for flavor; we prefer cherry.
• Sprinkle pork shoulder with BBQ rub until completely coated. Place shoulder in smoker and smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 175 to 180 degrees F, 5 to 6 hours. Let rest for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
• Slice pork shoulder into thin deli slices, no more than 1/8-inch thick. (Do not trim off fat; fat is flavor.)
• Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Add beef base and 1 quart water and whisk until beef base is dissolved. Reduce to low heat, then add red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano and thyme. Simmer for 1 hour. Strain au jus through cheesecloth or a fine strainer to remove particles and then return liquid to saucepan.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil and heat until hot, then add sliced yellow onion and red bell pepper and saute until softened. Remove to a bowl.
• To assemble a sandwich, dip 6 ounces sliced pork shoulder in hot garlic au jus for 1 minute to heat. Transfer to a skillet over medium heat. Add a generous amount of the pepper and onion mix on top. Cover with a slice of provolone and cover pan until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds. Transfer Philly mixture to a hoagie roll with a spatula and serve with a side of the hot garlic au jus. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 more sandwiches.
