Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pork on a baking sheet and rub with oil, spices, salt, and pepper. Roast until internal temperature reaches 155°F on a meat thermometer, about 20 minutes; cool. Stir together mustard, relish, and shallot. (You can refrigerate the pork and sauce for up to 2 days.)

When ready to assemble sandwiches, thinly slice pork. Spread each roll with 2 teaspoons mustard mixture. Add pork, cheese, peppers, and lettuce. (Heat briefly to melt cheese, if desired.) Serve or cover and chill for up to 2 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
