No grill, no problem. You can easily sear your Loin Roast filets in a skillet over high heat and still get that tender inside and crispy outer crust. For the charred red pepper and garlic, roast them in the oven with a little olive oil for similar results.
Along with the red pepper mayo, we're blending up buttery cashews into a traditional basil pesto for extra creaminess. A peppery arugula salad adds a nice playful punch and crunch to this juicy, smoky, mayo-laden sammie you're bound to make over and over again.
