Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted February 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2016 So the other day, the Honorable Otherdog calls me to advise that he had purchased all of the makings for a Philly Cheesesteak, and that he wanted to verify correct and ethical assembly of said Philly Cheesesteak with me, but I did not answer his call as I was probably washing my hair or maybe pooping or adjusting the points on a Waukesha or something. So anyways I called him back a few hours later and we discussed his attempt, and he almost had it until he mentioned "mayo." After I woke up from having my seizure, I informed him that mayo was a bad faux-pas that could get your ass handed to you in South Philly. But I forgave him and informed him to next time save the mayo for the ham and cheese sammiches.Knowing that he is an accomplished amature ametore ameture minor-league chef himself, I told him I had a great recipe for another South Philly favorite- hot roast pork sammiches. I promised to put it out there for him.....I used to make it in the firehouse all the time and it was a favorite for football sundays. So here it is for all to enjoy. Obviously you should adjust the quantities accordingly. This is cut-and-pasted from the firefighters forum site. "Yardo's South-Philly Style Roast Pork Sandwiches"This popular sandwich originates in Italian South Philadelphia where it is sold in virtually every corner sandwich shop and pizza joint throughout the entire city, however the best versions are sold in South Philly. I tried many variations of my own for several years until I recently perfected my own version. Use a boneless, tender cut of meat such as a pork shoulder or loin. Note that it must marinate for 12-24 hours.ONE- 4-6 lb boneless loin or shoulder, 3-4" thick and 8-12" in length. You will also need 18-20" of butcher's string.TWO- medium or large spanish onionsRoasted Red Peppers1/2 pound of sharp provolone cheese (sliced)Fresh italian sandwich rolls15-20 ounces chicken broth/stock (I use low-sodium)MARINADE:2 cups of virgin olive oil1/2 cup each of finely chopped/diced fresh rosemary, basil and italian parsley (regular parsley is fine if you cannot find italian.)6-8 fresh garlic cloves, finely chopped/diced or run through a press1 heaping tbsp of coarse-grind black pepper** You can prepare this in a blender if you want **PREP: On a cutting board, butterfly the loin down the center, 3/4ths of the way through and without splitting it in half. Place the loin into a glass baking dish, laying one end of it onto one end of the butcher's string with a 2-4 inches of the string out for slack. Pour the marinade down the center. Close the meat and use one hand to wrap the string tightly around while you rotate with the other hand, and tie off at the other end. Allow to marinade for 12-24 hours, turning over halfway through. Keep cool however not too cold as the olive oil will congeal. If this happens its not the end of the world.COOK: Preheat oven to 325. While waiting for the oven to preheat, remove the loin from the glass dish and set aside. Strain the marinade and place the herbs aside with a little bit of the olive oil. Discard the rest of the oil. Peel the onions and slice into large pieces.Place the loin back into the glass dish. Pour the chicken broth/stock into the dish to a depth of 1/2" tp 3/4" deep. Pour the remaining herb/oil onto the top of the loin. Add the onions on both sides of the loin and some on the top. Bake at 325 for about 1.5hrs until the internal temp reaches 140-145 degrees, then turn off the oven and allow the meat to cook itself until the internal temp reaches 150-155 degrees, about 10-15 minutes later. Remove from the oven. Place the loin onto a cutting board, remove the string, and slice into thin slices/pieces. place back into the broth in the glass pan and mix well. Serve on the italian rolls with the sharp provolone and roasted red peppers. Enjoy!!! Serves 6-8 people. 4 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
