This Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is so easy and so delicious you’ll keep it in your arsenal for an easy lunch on busy days or a simple family dinner when you don’t feel like cooking. It’s a sandwich that everyone. Will. Love. Promise.
Pork Tenderloin
Pork Tenderloin is the perfect protein for this sandwich. I love that it is so easy to cook and it takes very little time to do so. I’m not a big fan of frying because of the mess and the smell and the not-so-healthy aspect. Roasting keeps things simple and lighter.
This Pork Tenderloin Sandwich is also absolutely perfect with leftover roasted pork tenderloin, too. Use your leftover tenderloin from the day before, and simply throw this sandwich together the next day for a easy meal that will knock your socks off! If you roast it the day you make the sandwich, let it cool slightly before slicing. If you are using leftovers, it will be super simple to slice straight out of the fridge.
The Sandwich Spread
The lemon chive sandwich spread is out of this world. It’s creamy and tangy and the perfect accompaniment for all of the players in our sandwich game. Not only is it great with this pork tenderloin sandwich, but it would be an amazing salad dressing or veggie dip. Ya know I love a multipurpose sauce!
Building the Sammich
For the sandwich building phase of this situation, I love using a ciabatta roll because the sandwich spread sinks into the cute little crevices. Avocado and bacon are a must for almost any sandwich in my opinion. They just make the world better. Next I add sliced cheese – I had sliced provolone in the fridge so that’s what I used. Add whatever you have on hand and what you love. Next, I throw in mixed greens for the color and a little bit of sliced red onion for added flavor. Serve with your favorite potato chip or crispy french fry and dig in. One bite and you’ll be hooked.

recipe frequently asked questions
Either. If I make this with leftover pork tenderloin, I will serve it cold. If I am using pork I have just pulled out of the oven and serve it warm. They are both beyond delicious. Another reason you should make this sandwich!
You absolutely can and very easily so. For a gluten-free version, simply use your favorite gluten-free bread. Nothing else in this recipe would be of any concern. For a dairy-free version, use your favorite dairy-free sliced cheese or leave the cheese out all together.
Of course! Every thing from grilled steak to rotisserie chicken to shrimp would be awesome. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, use what you have and what you love!
Does a bear shimmy in the woods? Yes, they do. So, yes, make this sandwich.
