Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 4 Hoagie rolls
• 8 slices Provolone cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Season the pork strips with the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Split the hoagie rolls horizontally without cutting them all the way through. Spread a thin layer of butter on the inside of each roll.

Step 8

Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until lightly toasted.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and layer 2 slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each roll.

Step 10

Divide the cooked pork evenly among the rolls and top with the sautéed onions and peppers.

Step 11

Place the sandwiches back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Serve the Italian Pork Hoagies immediately while warm and enjoy!
