8 ounces pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided use
1 clove garlic, minced, divided use
2 small, oblong sandwich rolls (about 3 ounces each)
1 cup chopped broccoli rabe (also called rapini)
2 slices provolone cheese
Heat grill to medium-high. Place pork in a resealable plastic bag. Add salt and pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon oil and half the garlic. Seal bag, turn to coat pork and let sit at room temperature while grill heats. Remove pork from bag; discard any remaining marinade. Grill pork until done, 10 to 12 minutes, turning three or four times. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly. Slice rolls in half lengthwise, then grill until lightly toasted. Move to a plate. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet. Add broccoli rabe and remaining garlic to pan and saute until broccoli rabe is bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. Build sandwiches in this order: Roll bottom, sliced pork, cheese, broccoli rabe, roll top. Place sandwiches in skillet, covered, until cheese starts to melt.
