Ingredients

  • 4 tsp.

    ground fennel

  • 4 tsp.

    dried rosemary 

  • 2 tsp.

    dried oregano

  • 2 tsp.

    garlic salt

  • 2 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 2

    1-pound pork tenderloins

  • 5 Tbsp.

    olive oil

  • 2

    garlic cloves

  • 1/4 tsp.

    red pepper flakes

  • 2

    bunches broccolini, ends trimmed 

  • 1/2 cup

    mayonnaise 

  • 1/2 tsp.

    grated lemon zest

  • 6

    ciabatta rolls, split and toasted

  • 3

    jarred roasted red bell peppers, sliced

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 350˚. Combine the fennel, rosemary, oregano, garlic salt, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a small bowl.
    2. Step 2Slice the pork tenderloins in half crosswise and rub evenly with the spice mixture.
    3. Step 3Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
    4. Step 4Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pork is cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the middle registers 140˚, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
    5. Step 5Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Thinly slice 1 garlic clove and add it to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic just starts to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the broccolini and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and toss. Cover the pan and cook, tossing a few times, until the broccolini is tender and bright green, 6 to 7 minutes.
    6. Step 6Grate the remaining garlic clove and combine it with the mayonnaise and lemon zest in a small bowl. Generously spread the garlic mayonnaise on the rolls; top with a few slices each of pork and roasted red pepper. Serve the sandwiches with the broccolini.
