Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup mirin
Salt and ground white pepper to taste
1 pound skinless pork belly, thinly sliced
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons steak seasoning blend
2 large red tomatoes, thickly sliced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 ripe avocados from Mexico, peeled, pitted and sliced
4 leaves green leaf lettuce
8 slices crusty artisan bread, toasted
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, mirin, salt and white pepper in a bowl. Add pork slices and mix to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Remove pork from refrigerator. Drain slices; discard marinade. Heat a grill pan and brush or spray with vegetable oil. Place pork slices on grill and cook until well seared, turning every 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Pour milk into shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, pepper and seasoned salt together in a shallow dish for dredging. Beat eggs in a third bowl. Dip tomato slices into milk, then flour mixture, then eggs. Coat well with flour mixture again.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place tomato slices in pan and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. If necessary, place in warm oven until ready to serve.
  • To build sandwiches, spread mayonnaise on bread slices. On half the slices, layer lettuce, avocado slices, grilled pork belly and fried tomatoes. Top with remaining bread slices.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, so I left it out of my BLT. It was still delicious! The pork belly was cooked perfectly and the tomatoes added a nice freshness.

This BLT was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred less salt in the pork belly.

This BLT was a little too greasy for my taste. The pork belly was cooked well, but it was just too rich for me. I think I would have preferred bacon instead.
