Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 teaspoons ground fennel
4 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Two 1-pound pork tenderloins
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 ciabatta rolls
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested
5 cups arugula
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 jarred roasted red bell peppers, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the fennel, rosemary, oregano, garlic salt, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of pepper in a small bowl.
  • Slice the pork tenderloins in half crosswise and rub evenly with the spice mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pork is cooked through and a thermometer inserted in the middle registers 140 degrees F, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • To toast the ciabatta rolls, place a dry skillet on a medium heat until it is hot, about 5 minutes. Slice the rolls in half and place the rolls in the skillet cut-side down until they are toasted how you like them, 15 to 30 seconds. Set aside.
  • Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing to your desired thickness.
  • Grate the garlic clove and combine it with the mayonnaise and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with black pepper.
  • Add the arugula to a bowl, then drizzle over the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the balsamic vinegar and toss to combine.
  • Generously spread the garlic mayonnaise on the tops and bottoms of the rolls. Place some pork slices on the bottom halves, then add slices of roasted red pepper and a generous amount of the arugula. Place the other halves of the rolls on top and serve.

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Tips:

  • To ensure your pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 150°F (66°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by cutting into the center of the tenderloin. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, and white throughout for well done.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
