Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Coarse black pepper
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic
• 4 pieces Crusty sandwich rolls
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 large Tomato
• 2 tbsp Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season it evenly with the coarse black pepper, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork tenderloin until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the skillet with the pork to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin medallions.

Step 5

While the pork is cooking, prepare the aioli. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic clove. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Slice the sandwich rolls in half and spread a thin layer of butter on each cut side. Toast the rolls in a skillet or toaster until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Wash and pat dry the arugula.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of the aioli on the bottom halves of the rolls. Top with arugula, tomato slices, and a layer of the sliced pork medallions. Add the top half of the roll.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Peppered Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches!
