PHILADELPHIA ROAST PORK SANDWICH RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place pork roast in a baking dish (I use a 9 x 13 inch glass pyrex dish).
• Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, Italian seasoning and garlic flakes.
• Roast in oven for about 15 minutes or until juices start running and fat starts to melt and brown in the bottom of the pan, then add water to about 1/2 inch up the pan.
• Check every half hour or so and if water gets low, add a bit more to so it's about 1/2 inch up the pan every time.
• Each time you add the water, pour some over the roast, so the top does not get too dry.
• Roast until internal temperature reads 165-170 degrees (About an hour and a half TOTAL cooking time).
• Trim all visible fat from roast and discard.
• Slice roast very thin, in the pan if possible, so you don't lose any juices.
• If all goes well, the juices/gravy at the bottom of the pan should look golden brown, with darker flecks of spices, garlic and some little pieces of meat.
• Serve slices of pork on rolls, making sure that the slices have soaked up some of the juices (you can drizzle more juices on top, if you like, or you can thicken the gravy with water and cornstarch or flour, if desired).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put pork roast on cutting board. Mix next six ingredients in bowl. Score top of roast to allow some of rub mixture to get into meat. Rub mixture over all exposed surfaces of meat.Place roast in roasting pan on roasting rack. Place in oven and cook at 500°F for 30 minutes. Turn oven down to 275°F and roast for 2 ½ to 3 hours.Remove pork from oven; let set 30 minutes. Slice thin. Reserve juices that accumulated in roasting pan.For broccoli rabe: Wash thoroughly and cut about ½ inch off bottom of stems. Cut florets off top and set aside.Bring 5 quarts salted water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli rabe leaves and stems and cook about 1 ½ minutes, then add florets and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove broccoli from boiling water and drain, but reserve about ¼ to ½ cup of cooking liquid.In deep sauté pan, heat olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and salt as needed over medium heat. Once garlic begins to sauté, sauté about 2 minutes, until very lightly browned, then add drained broccoli rabe. Sauté about 3 to 5 minutes longer, then add cooking liquid from pot. This should look a little soupy.To assemble: Slice roll most of way through, then toast if desired. Add slice of sharp provolone cheese, then top with about 8 ounces hot meat. Top with broccoli rabe generously, if desired, and serve.
