MIKE DITKA'S TAILGATE PORK SANDWICH

Chef Tom Kenny of Mike Ditka's Restaurant in Chicago is the creator of this delicious marinade and Orange Aioli. I confess I've left the pork in the marinade for up to a couple of days and I think it tastes even better. And the Orange Aioli is to die for and in fact tastes good as a chicken sandwich dressing. All in all, it's a great sandwich and very easy! Prep time includes marinating the pork.

Time P1DT20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (1 lb) pork tenderloin
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (I like a little more)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
8 kaiser rolls
2 tomatoes, sliced thinly
3 cups chopped lettuce
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced (they suggest Vidalia)

Steps:

  • In a plastic zipper bag, marinate pork tenderloins in Chef Tom's Marinade at least 8 hours, preferably overnight (and personally, I've done up to 48 hours with great results).
  • Remove pork from marinade and grill over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F.
  • Toast kaiser rolls on the grill.
  • Slice cooked tenderloins for sandwiches.
  • Spread Orange Aioli on insides of rolls, layer pork onto the rolls, then the tomato, lettuce and onion.
  • Dig in!

Tips:

  • Choose thick-cut pork chops for grilling, as they will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Brine the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the pork chops. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and keep the meat tender.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Mike Ditka's Official Tailgaters Grilled Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're tailgating at a football game or just having a backyard barbecue, these pork chops are sure to be a hit.
