Grilled Pork Sliders as seen on George Hirsch Lifestyle 

George Hirsch May 16, 2025

You can’t beat traditional low-and-slow BBQ pulled pork. But what if you don’t have hours to Q? The solution is the Grilled Pork Sliders. Pork tenderloins benefit from a good rub and sauce, and they cook up quickly on the grill. In a pinch, the pork can be grilled or roasted indoors. 

George's Grilled Pork Sliders

Makes six servings 

George Hirsch Lifestyle Pork Tenderloin

chefgeorgehirsch.com | George Hirsch Lifestyle 

1 1/4 TO 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed

1/4 cup Pork Rub 

2 Tablespoons olive oil 

12 soft potato slider buns 

1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage, or 1 cup slaw 

1 cup Chipotle Sauce  

One day prior or at least two hours before cooking, dry rub the pork tenderloin. 

Rub pork spices over pork tenderloin and refrigerate until ready to cook. 

Pork Rub:

2 teaspoons each of powdered garlic, paprika 

1 Tablespoon each of black pepper, rosemary, thyme, Chipolte rub 

Grilled Pork Tenderloins.JPG

To Cook Pork: Preheat the grill or a cast-iron grill pan to high heat, or preheat a 375-degree oven. 

Rub olive oil over the pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloins on high heat and grill to a golden brown, turning once on all sides (Use a roasting pan if cooking in the oven). Lower the heat to medium; cook until the pork is fully cooked, about 15-25 minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 

Slice pork tenderloin very thin and pile high on soft buns. Drizzle Chipotle Sauce over the meat, and top with finely shredded cabbage or slaw. 

Chipotle Sauce

1/4 cup BBQ Sauce

1/4 cup Steak Sauce

1/4 cup Hoisin sauce (Chinese BBQ sauce)

2 Tablespoons ketchup

2 Tablespoons cider vinegar

2 Tablespoons Chipolte roasted paste

Mix all ingredients. Heat up to warm, and serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.

Hot Brown

George Hirsch January 20, 2022

A Hot Brown is a hot sandwich originally created at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, by Fred K. Schmidt in 1926. It was one of two signature sandwiches created by chefs at the Brown Hotel shortly after its founding in 1923. The Brown Hotel is a grand property, of distinctive English Renaissance design and is on the National Register of Historic Places. 

George_Hirsch_Hot_Brown.jpg

According to The Hot Brown legend, "In the 1920's, The Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. In the wee hours of the morning, the guests would grow tired of dancing and retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Diners were growing rapidly bored with the traditional ham and eggs, so Chef Fred Schmidt set out to create something new to tempt his guests' palates. His unique creation was an open-faced turkey sandwich with bacon and a delicate Mornay sauce." 

The dish is a local specialty and favorite of the Louisville area, and is popular throughout Kentucky. Think fondue-like only more of a pub-ish lunch; ideal and comforting during cold weather. The Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich w/ turkey and or bacon, covered in Mornay sauce and baked or broiled until the bread is crisp and the sauce begins to brown. Other varieties of Hot Browns may include ham with the turkey, and either pimentos or tomatoes over the sauce. 

Making The Sauce

A béchamel or white sauce can be spiced up with a pinch of cayenne pepper, or hot sauce, 1/2 cup IPA (or another good ale), 1 teaspoon prepared English mustard, and pinch of paprika.

Finish the sauce off with 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese. Whisk in and simmer just until the cheese is melted. Serve a couple tablespoons of sauce over a slice of good wheat toast. Serve as is, or you may want to place the 'Hot Brown' under a broiler for 30 seconds to brown lightly. Top with chopped chives or green onion. I've also topped this with a slice of good ripe tomato + sweet onion. Enjoy.

A Light Béchamel Recipe

chefgeorgehirsch.com | George Hirsch Lifestyle

1 Tablespoon sweet butter

1 Tablespoon flour

1/2 cup half & half (can use milk for a lighter version) 

In a small sauce pan over low heat add butter and flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. With a wire whisk add in milk and allow to simmer until slightly thickened.

If using béchamel for Hot Brown, continue adding ingredients as above and simmer for 5 minutes while continuing to stir.

Summer is ripe for Lobster Roll

georgehirsch June 27, 2020

Is a lobster roll the new hamburger? 

George Hirsch Lifestyle Lobster Roll

There are many seaside locations up and down the coast that serve very good lobster rolls. And, I have enjoyed many. What is a good lobster roll? Set the bar by preparing the rolls chock-filled with fresh lobster meat. Add a good bowl of your favorite chowder and you will feel as if you are in Montauk.

Buy lobsters from a reputable fishmonger. How the lobsters are caught, handled, and stored is the key to the flavor of the meat. And, never use lobster meat that is spongy, a sign the lobster was falling off or died before cooking.

6 top-split long soft rolls 

3 Tablespoons celery, chopped fine 

1 Tablespoon chives, chopped 

1 Tablespoon parsley, chopped 

Juice of 1 lemon  

1 teaspoon hot sauce

Chef George Hirsch's Lobster Roll

3 Tablespoons butter, melted 

Optional: 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Or, 2 additional Tablespoons of melted butter added in place of mayo. 

Cut lobster meat into 1 inch pieces. In a large bowl toss lobster meat, mayonnaise, celery, chives, parsley, lemon, and hot sauce. 

Brush rolls on the outside with butter and lightly toast on a griddle or in a large sauté pan.

Benedictine Sandwich

George Hirsch April 30, 2019

If it seems like a busy week for celebrating, then you are spot-on. This is what's on the celebrations calendar; there's Cinco de Mayo approaching, and this weekend is the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby. The “fastest two minutes in racing or for most sports,” here’s how to celebrate like a triple crown winner!

Kentucky-Derby_leader.jpg

To keep your entertaining true to form, here's a traditional Derby Day classic, invented by Jennie Benedict in the 19th century, The Benedictine Sandwich. This sandwich is to Churchill Downs as the Pimento Sandwich is to the Masters; and is one that John Montagu (The 4th Earl of Sandwich) would still be proud to eat.

derby-sandwich.jpeg

To Make a Benedictine Sandwich:

In a food processor - mix 1 package softened cream cheese with 2 Tablespoons finely chopped watercress, 1/4 of a finely chopped Vidalia onion, 2 Tablespoons of olive oil mayo, a shot of hot sauce, and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse all ingredients until just blended smooth. Fold in 1 large peeled, seeded and finely chopped English cucumber. Spread cuke filling on thinly sliced white sandwich bread. Trim crusts, if desired. 

Equally as good enjoyed with Deviled Eggs

Wash down with a cool Mint Julep!

BTW: Each year, almost 120,000 Early Times Mint Juleps are served over the two-day period of Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby weekend at Churchill Downs Racetrack.

Wash down with a cool Mint Julep!

My Mint Julep Recipe

It's easy to make with only four ingredients; Bourbon Whiskey, mint, crushed ice and sugar. Simply muddle/pestle the sugar and mint; to release the oils in the mint, Add ice to top off highball glass, top with Bourbon. Traditionally served in silver cup with a straw. Hat, optional.

Masters' Pimento-Cheese Sandwich

George Hirsch April 9, 2019

Join me + Tune-in/DVR CreateTV GHL Sat 4/13 8AM/8PM + Sun 4/14 3PM

The pimento cheese sandwich is to The Masters Tournament (begins April 9th - Sunday April 14th in Augusta, GA) - as a good BBQ slider would be at a Super Bowl weekend tailgate. There are many stories claiming the sandwich's origin (not sure which one to believe) and there are many versions of this recipe (I have my own). BTW, you can get one at The Masters for the reasonable price tag of $1.50.

The Masters' pimento-cheese sandwich is a highly guarded secret recipe. I'm thinking the recipe might come with the green jacket though! If you are not in contention to receive the jacket this weekend you might want to watch comfortably at home with your own sandwich— after watching George Hirsch Lifestyle on Create TV this weekend Sat 8AM/8PM + Sun 4PM.

sandwich.jpg

To make six Pimento-Cheese Sandwiches, use whole wheat or white bread spread with pimento-cheese filling.

Blend all ingredients in a food processor, 1/4 cup each shredded extra-sharp cheddar yellow cheese, Monterey jack cheese, softened cream cheese, drained jarred pimento, 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise. Add a pinch of sea salt, pepper and a dash of hot pepper sauce. 

Optional additions: chopped hard boiled eggs, sliced vidalia onions, watercress
