Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Pork loin
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for toasting rolls)
- 3 cups Prepared coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for coleslaw)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for coleslaw)
Instructions
Prepare the marinade: In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Place the pork loin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for best flavor).
While the pork marinates, prepare the coleslaw: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss the dressing with the coleslaw mix until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork loin from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the pork for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
Toast the sandwich rolls: Brush the cut sides of the rolls with melted butter and place them on the grill or a griddle, cut side down, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place sliced pork loin on the bottom half of each toasted roll. Top with a generous serving of coleslaw. Cover with the top half of the roll.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Cilantro Lime Pork Loin Sandwiches with Coleslaw!
