Cuban Sandwich - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • ¾ lb. shredded pork shoulder see note
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 8 garlic cloves minced
  • 24 deli ham slices
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 8 Swiss cheese slices
  • Dill pickle slices for topping
  • Mustard for spreading yellow, Dijon, etc. See Note

Instructions

  • Add the pork to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. As it begins to warm, stir in the orange juice, lime juice, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the pork becomes slightly crisped and brown, stirring occasionally. Set aside to keep warm.
  • Warm the ham, over the grill or in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  • Butter the insides of the hoagie rolls and place on the grill or in a skillet to toast.
  • To assemble the sandwiches: place 6 slices of ham on the bread, followed by a generous heaping of the shredded pork, 2 Swiss cheese slices, and pickles. Spread the underside of the top bun with mustard and top the sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Generously butter the top sides of the buns. Place the sandwiches on a hot grill, top side down, and place a brick wrapped in tinfoil, skillet or press on top of the sandwich to flatten slightly. Cook until toasted.
  • Remove the brick or skillet and generously butter the bread. Flip over and place the skillet/brick back on the sandwich and cook until toasted.
  • Remove from the heat and serve warm.
