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.
PORTUGUESE PORK LOIN SANDWICH (BIFES DE PORCO)
This is a simple recipe I learned to make for my husband. You can add a bay leaf to the marinating process but I usually forget to add it and it still tastes yummy!

Steps:
- 1. In a pyrex casserole, sprinkle half of the chopped garlic, pepper flakes, salt and a dash of vinegar.
- 2. Layer with the fillets and alternate the ingredients between layers. Cover and place in the fridge over night or in an hour if to be made on same day.
- 3. Heat up the oil in a heavy pan at medium heat. Lower if the first fillet starts splashing too much.
- 4. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
- 5. Place as many fillets in the pan and let cook about 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
- 6. When the first batch of fillets are cooked place in a casserole and put in the warm oven.
- 7. Once all fillets are fried, place the sliced onion in the pan with the same oil used for the fillets on medium heat.
- 8. Once onions are browned, add the tomato paste and stir until the oil has a red tinge. Pour about 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and let it burn off for about 2 minutes. Take off heat.
- 9. Remove the fillets from the oven and pour the onion mixture over the fillets. You may put in the oven on BROIL for 2 minutes to caramelize the onion.
- 10. Serve the fillets in a toasted and crusty bun.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork loin: Look for a loin that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the pork loin is juicy and flavorful.
- Season the pork loin liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pork loin. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork loin to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the pork loin is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork loin rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful sandwich.
- Use a sturdy bread for the sandwich: A good sturdy bread will hold up to the juicy pork loin and all of the toppings.
- Get creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for a pork loin sandwich. Some popular choices include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, onion rings, and cheese.
Conclusion:
The pork loin sandwich is a classic sandwich that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can create a pork loin sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table.
