Grilled Cajun Pork Po’boys
Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins trimmed and silverskin removed
- 4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce shredded or thinly sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced thin
- 2 French baguettes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Creole mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons parsley finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Whisk the remoulade ingredients together very well and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat a charcoal grill to 400f (Medium-High).
- Season tenderloins on all sides with the 4 tsp of Cajun rub.
- Grill the tenderloins, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145f, about 22-30 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest on a raised rack for 10 minutes.
- Split the loaves in half and grill (split side down) until toasted.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together and toss with the shredded lettuce.
- Slice the pork tenderloins very thinly and at a 45 degree angle.
- Top each baguette bottom with the shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and sliced pork. Slather the top buns liberally with the remoulade.
- Cut each po’boy in half, for 4 very filling sandwiches. Cut each one into 6 pieces for a more reasonable serving or for making a party platter.
