Italian Roast Pork Sandwich (Best Philly Sandwich)
Thin sliced pork, flavor packed jus, garlic, broccoli rabe, and provolone create one of my favorite sandwiches I’ve eaten. As I said in the video, this is the first time I have made this so I only have a rough recipe but I have written it below.

Roast Pork Recipe:
Rub:
Rosemary
Thyme
Garlic Powder
Oregano
Salt
You’re looking for about 50/50 salt to everything else. I would say of that, heavy on the rosemary and garlic.
1 Boneless Pork Shoulder (mine was about 3.25lb)
1 Onion
1 Head of Garlic (10-20 cloves)
1 Cup Dry White Wine
2 Cups Beef Stock
Rub your rub all over every surface of the pork. Let rest in the fridge for 2-24 hours. Slice up the onion and add onion and whole garlic cloves at the bottom of a dutch oven. Add pork fat side up on-top of the onions/garlic and roast for 1 hour at 350°F. Add wine and beef stock, and continue cooking in the oven for 1 more hour. Cover the pot and then cook for one final hour. Remove from liquid and cool 30 minutes at room temperature and then cool in the fridge. Blend the garlic and onions into the remaining liquid and add salt and pepper to taste and reserve for later. When the pork is cool enough to slice, slice it up as thinly as you can.
Broccoli Rabe Recipe
1 Bunch of Broccoli Rabe
1 Head of Garlic (10-20 cloves)
Chop up the garlic as finely as you want. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the broccoli rabe. Cook for 2-4 minutes until vibrant and tender but not too soft. Immediately shock in ice water to stop cooking. When cool, squeeze out water and chop up to desired size.
When ready to cook, add olive oil, garlic and salt to a pan and cook until just turning brown. Add broccoli rabe and cook until it starts to get a little color.
For assembly, add your thinly sliced pork back into the jus and heat over medium heat until the pork is hot and tender. Cut open your bread half way, but leave a seam on the back. Add your provolone and toast in the oven until outside of bread is crisp and cheese is melted. Add pork and broccoli rabe mixture to sandwich and enjoy!

I’m prepping this today for the big game on Sunday! Quick question – do you leave the pork uncovered in the fridge while it marinades? I plan to let it set overnight
Holy FOOK Bro! That looks awesome! I've done this a few times myself, but your video was the best I've found on here. Great work. You gained a subscriber today!!!!
Dude you forgot the longhots
Pork looks super tough
I have made this 3 times, pretty easy to do. I buy my rolls, prefer a seeded semolina. I used sharp provolone
The problem that I had and Aaron has is that we cant slice the pork thin enough
I did everything you suggested for the meat, but I only had a 2.6 lb tenderloin, so I cooked to 150ish and pulled – plenty tender still and cooking over the onions and garlic was great to protect the meat and avoid burning. The onions were also helpful because with a leaner cut of meat, searing it off first was a must and the onions helped deglaze. Turned out great, and I am looking forward to doing this again but with a Boston butt for the whole family on Christmas Eve. (Quick Edit, but as someone in Philly, this recipe hit just right. I got all my other supplies, from the rolls, to the sharp prov to the stock for the aus jus all from Dattilos here in the Northeast, who were super helpful as always even throwing in a few feet of butcher's twine for free when I explained how my tenderloin needed a small truss. The family went bananas for it, so thank you)
What y'all know about Willy's hot roast pork on 9th Street Italian market in South Philly
Me and my wife did a sandwich tour of the east coast in May (from UK) I really enjoyed the Dinics pork sandwich in Philly, but by far the best sandwiches were the poboys from Domilise's in New Orleans. Couldn't choose a champion between shrimp and beef. (Shrimp dipped in beef gravy sounds so wrong but is so right!!!)
Try it with real provolone and it will
knock your socks off!👍🏻
Still waiting for ur bread video ;_;
i will now make this. everyone who likes this style of sandwich has gotta try a chicago-style italian beef
looks awesome been wanting to make this sandwich for years
Fantastic video. Pork shoulder sandwiches outside of Philly are highly underappreciated. I'm a fairly skilled life long home cook myself and am glad to see a nice porcelain dutch oven and as stained and well worn as my like red one. Happy Holidays! Now I'm inspired to go make this recipe today.
That was just INCREDIBLE ! With homemade bread : WOW ! Thank you very much for the recipe !
What size is your Le Creuset Dutch Oven?
Made this for a party last night and it was amazing! It was a huge hit! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Just made this, as a Philly man this is absolutely spot on! Thanks for the recipe!
Nice looking hoagie rolls. now I have to make this with my 7 lb pork butt.
I'm from Philly and was craving a Philly roast pork but, not wanting to visit Reading Terminal Market for a quick fix from Dinic's, I figured I'd try to make it from home. I found several recipes online then stumbled upon your video. This was unbelievable. The key is the au jus and then letting the sliced pork heat back up in it for a few hours at low heat before serving. My family already wants more. Thank you!
I loved loved loved this video!! Omg watching you blend the spice rub was absolutely super cool!! Makes me want to eat pork… truly. So fun and so clearly delicious. You blow me away!!
