Roasted Pork Sliders Recipes

PULLED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Set the pork on a cutting board and score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, making the cuts about 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Make the rub: Combine the pimenton, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, celery salt, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Massage it into the meat.
• Place the pork in a roasting pan and pour the beer into the pan. Cover with foil and roast 3 hours. Check it periodically to make sure everything is going along just fine, and turn the roast over every hour.
• Remove the foil and continue roasting until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 1 1/2 more hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
• Sometime during the marathon cooking time, make the sauce: Combine the vinegar, garlic, chile, brown sugar, tomato paste, dijon mustard and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Taste it to make sure it is delicious; set aside. Remove the chile. When the sauce is cool, I recommend putting it in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
• Pull the pork into long shreds using 2 forks. Get rid of the fat and anything else that doesn't look delicious. Toss the pork with any residual pan juices and add salt to taste.
• Serve the pork on slider rolls with a drizzle of sauce; top with coleslaw.

SLOW-COOKED POT ROAST SLIDERS

Steps:

• Place roast in a 4-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together water, and the soup and gravy mixes. Pour seasoning mixture over roast. Cook, covered, on low until tender, 5-6 hours. Remove from cooker. Cool slightly; shred meat with 2 forks., Preheat broiler. Place halved rolls on a baking sheet. On each bottom half, place cheese piece. Broil buns 4-6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and rolls start to brown, 1-2 minutes. Remove from broiler. Using tongs, place meat mixture on roll bottoms. If desired, layer with tomato, baby arugula and horseradish sauce. Replace roll tops.

ROAST PORK TENDERLOIN SLIDERS WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine onion, red wine vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring to dissolve salt. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Season tenderloin on all sides with salt and pepper. Place tenderloin in shallow pan and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Remove pork from oven and let rest 3 minutes. Cut pork into thin slices. Drain onion mixture.
• Arrange bottom halves of rolls on a work surface. Spread with cranberry sauce, and then top with pork and pickled onions, dividing all evenly. Add top halves of rolls and serve.

PULLED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• Stir together condensed soup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add pork roast and toss to cover with sauce.
• Cover and cook on Low until pork is fork tender and slightly pink in the center, 8 to 9 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Spoon off any fat and discard.
• Transfer pork to a cutting board and shred the meat with 2 forks. Return meat to the slow cooker and toss in sauce to coat, adding tomato sauce if it needs more sauce.
• Divide pork among slider rolls and serve with hot pepper sauce.

ROASTED PORK SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the roasted pork: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the pork loin on all sides with the salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk and BBQ sauce. Set aside.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the canola oil and heat until the oil just starts to smoke. Add the pork to the skillet fat-side down. Sear on all sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set the pork aside on a plate.
• Stir in the onions and cook until softened and browned, about 2 minutes. Add the diced pineapple, then place the seared pork on top of the onions and pineapple. Pour some of the BBQ mixture over the pork, coating the top, then pour the rest around the skillet, stirring it into the onion-pineapple mixture as much as possible. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the pork and onions are deeply caramelized, and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the slaw: Combine the napa and red cabbage together in a bowl. Add the salt and toss. Stir in the Spicy Mayo, adding more if desired, to evenly coat the cabbage. Set aside.
• To assemble: Slice the pork into thin rounds, then cut the rounds in half to make half-moons. Season the pork slices with salt. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pineapple and onions on top of each bottom bun, followed by 2 to 3 half-moon slices of pork, then a heaping tablespoon of the slaw. Place the top buns over the slaw on each. Serve immediately.
• Combine the mayonnaise, coconut milk, sriracha and lime juice in a bowl and stir together until smooth. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to a week.
