Cuban Hero

Cuban Hero

  • 9 oz. box Steak-umm® Cuban Style Seasoned Sliced Steaks
  • 1 loaf Cuban bread (opt. French baguette or Italian bread)
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 dill pickle slices
  • 4 slices ham
  • Cooking spray
  1. Cook Steak-umm Sweet & Zesty Cuban steaks according to directions on the box. Set aside.
  2. Preheat panini press or cast-iron griddle to medium heat.
  3. Cut the loaf of bread into quarters and slice horizontally.
  4. Spread mustard on one slice of bread and mayo on the other slice. Repeat for all sandwich quarters.
  5. Assemble each sandwich by layering the Sweet & Zesty Cuban steaks, ham, cheese, and dill pickles.
  6. Spray panini press or cast-iron griddle with cooking spray. Place the sandwich on the hot surface (however many will fit at one time).
  7. Press the sandwich in the panini press. If using a griddle, place a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich and compress it. Grill for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip the sandwich over, press, and grill for a couple more minutes until the cheese has melted. Repeat the process for any remaining sandwiches.
  9. Cut sandwiches diagonally and enjoy!

NOTES

  1. If you do not have a panini press or griddle, a regular skillet will work. The bread will still get nice and toasty but will not have the signature grill marks.
