Method

Pork Tenderloin Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Rub the marinade all over the pork tenderloin. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Pork

    Place the marinated pork tenderloin on the grill. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  5. 5

    Rest the Pork

    Remove the pork from the grill, cover it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Onion and Toppings Preparation

  1. 6

    Grill the Onions

    Slice the onions into rings. Place them on the grill after the pork has been cooked, and grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

  3. 8

    Slice the Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes into rounds and set aside.

  4. 9

    Prepare the French Fries

    Fry or bake the French fries according to package instructions until crispy.

Assembly

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the rested pork tenderloin into thin pieces. On each toasted bun, layer the grilled onions, sliced pork, cheese, lettuce, and sliced tomatoes.

  2. 11

    Serve

    Serve the grilled pork tenderloin sandwiches with a side of French fries.
