What You’ll Need
- Prairie Fresh® pork tenderloin, 1lb.
- 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 (12-inch) crusty baguettes
- Mayonnaise, Kewpie brand preferred
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- In a small bowl, mix five-spice, brown sugar, pepper, and salt. Rub spice mixture over pork tenderloin and set aside.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place seasoned pork tenderloin in the pan and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the pork tenderloin over, then transfer the skillet into the oven. Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 F.
- While pork is cooking, whisk the rice vinegar, honey, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Stir in carrots and cucumber and set aside. Allow the vegetables to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the tenderloins to rest for 3–5 minutes.
- Transfer the pork tenderloins to a cutting board and slice thinly.
- Cut baguettes into 6-inch sections, then cut them in half.
- Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise inside the sliced baguettes, then layer sliced pork on one side of the sandwich.
- Top with marinated vegetables and cilantro. Enjoy!
