For years I have been hearing of something known at a BPT sandwich, a.k.a. a Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, a.k.a. an Iowa Pork Tenderloin Sandwich.

But since I have no plans to make a trek to Iowa in the near future, I set out to create my own grilled take on the BPT as part of Grillocracy’s ongoing partnership with the fine folks at Smithfield*. 

Starting with Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin, I then amped up the sandwich with the addition of grilled pickles, charred tomato relish, and arugula mayonnaise! The result? The Ultimate Iowa Pork Tenderloin Sandwich!
