Move over, cheesesteak, pork and broccoli rabe sandwich coming through. The classic Philly version is traditionally made with roast pork shoulder, but using pork tenderloin makes it more doable for a weeknight dinner.

That pork was D-R-Y
Need some ketchup.
It’s hard to find the broccoli rabe in my area. Is there any close substitution for it?
what kind of knife is that?
Wow the look delicious
Made this tonight. Unreal. Thanks for the recipe – ATK never disappoints.
Not from Philly but I visited once and had both the cheesesteak and the Pork broccoli raab.
hands down the pork/broccoli raab is a much better sandwich. it's not even a competition.
Tenderloin might be quicker but it tastes nothing like the shoulder.
Oh boy does that look great! Got my shopping list ready to go for the ingredients!! Sooo clever.
That….Is…Not…It..
Looks so good, but I REALLY hate the taste of Fenal
Yes, more Ashley. She's the best.
Who in Philly puts broccoli on a sandwich?…. Not ONE person. The is no FAMOUS Philly sandwich made of broccoli
there is almost nothing about this sandwich that could identify it as a ‘Philly roast pork’ 🤦♂️
Great sandwich combo, except for the red bell pepper – the sweetness hides the natural sweetness of the pork. Also, no dressing needed on the greens. It should be sweet pork and bitter greens with creamy provolone, not tasting like a salad. See KISS method.
Yay, more sheet pan recipes please!
Making these tomorrow!
We call them torpedo rolls, not hogie rolls.
It looks amazing Ashley!
Ah nese…not an is. I love broccoli and broccoli rabe myself.
While the cheesesteak gets all the publicity, it’s the roast pork which wins for flavor. I second everyone else here that commented to include broccoli rabe and sharp provie. I also like to add some fried long hots. And you better serve them on Amoroso rolls or seeded sarcones. When I was a kid I enjoyed Willie’s on Christian street. Anyone remember that place?
Looks very dry.
Fennel seed is nasty
😋👍🏻 🍽
Ashley, Killer! Great Job! I love it!! NOW, make the Pork sholder one!
The better of the 2 popular & famous philly sandwiches in my opinion, Dinick's is good, but I think John's is the best
Broccoli rabe seems to be traditional, but 'John's Roast Pork' (who many say also has the best cheesesteaks in Philly) uses spinach.
The following link explains their reasoning in addition to interviews with other Philly "roast pork chefs".

Looks delicious 😋
Personally, I think the pork shouldn't be that lean. It should be fork tender and juicy.
Roast pork sandwiches with rabe and sharp provolone are the best. If you’re in Philly Johns Roast Pork and DiNics are two top spots worth checking out. John’s funny enough also has one of the best cheesestekas. Hot peppers are often used instead of bell if you even choose to add peppers. I usually stay mild with the peppers and apply liberal amounts of horseradish.
Get the best Italian bread you can find, the rolls in this video were a little sus, and slice the pork as thinly as you can. Paper thin is the target but that might be a limitation of using tenderloin over the shoulder.
Trying tonight!! On a GRINDER roll ;o)
Woohoo, another Ashley quick dinner video!! Keep them coming!!!
In Philly, it's all about the roll.
Looks' good..i don't eat RED meat … BUT Gonna make it with chicken or Fish
You need real shaved sharp provolone and real Italian bread. That fake school bread is no good
