Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless pork loin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 6 Whole wheat buns
- 6 Lettuce leaves
- 2 Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, thyme, paprika, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the pork loin, ensuring even coverage.
Place the pork loin on a roasting pan and insert into the preheated oven.
Roast the pork for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Allow the pork to rest for 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven, then slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading Dijon mustard on the bottom half of the whole wheat buns.
Place lettuce leaves on top of the mustard, followed by several slices of tomato.
Add the sliced roast pork on top of the tomatoes, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium classic roast pork sandwich.
