Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 3/4-pound pork tenderloin
Kosher salt
Olive oil
Two 8-inch seeded semolina rolls, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Calabrian chiles in oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 bunch broccoli rabe
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 slices sharp provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat the preheated grill pan with oil. Sear the tenderloin on all sides until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145 F, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Toast the rolls, cut side-down, on the grill pan allowing the bread to crisp up and soak up the flavor from the pork. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan, Calabrian chiles and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with salted water and ice. Add the broccoli rabe to the boiling water and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from boiling water and drop immediately into the ice bath. Once cool, remove, drain and roughly chop.
  • Coat a large skillet with oil and heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe, season with salt and saute until heated through.
  • Build the sandwiches: Spread the mayonnaise-chile mixture on the toasted sides of a roll. Top the bottom of the roll with half the pork, broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. Top with top piece of the roll and transfer to a baking tray. Build the second sandwich with the remaining ingredients. Bake just until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
  • Slice each sandwich in half and serve!

This sandwich is a disgrace to Italian cuisine. The pork was dry and overcooked, the broccoli rabe was bitter and mushy, and the provolone cheese was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who likes good food.

This sandwich is just okay. The pork was a little tough and the broccoli rabe was bland. The provolone cheese was good, but it couldn't save the sandwich.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sandwich turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt. Otherwise, this sandwich is perfect.

This sandwich is amazing! The combination of flavors and textures is perfect. The pork is tender and juicy, the broccoli rabe is slightly bitter and crunchy, and the provolone cheese is gooey and flavorful. I highly recommend this sandwich.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli rabe, but I really enjoyed it in this sandwich. The bitterness of the greens was offset by the sweetness of the pork and the sharpness of the provolone cheese. I'll definitely be making this sandwich again.
