Cuban Sandwich Recipe (Cubano Sandwich)
This Cuban Sandwich is a hearty, pressed pork sandwich made with sliced Cuban roast pork, sliced sweet ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, and mustard served on toasted, buttered Cuban bread. No salami, no lettuce, no tomato, no mayo. This is the authentic Miami version of the Cuban sandwich!
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin silverskin trimmed off
- 1 cup mojo marinade
- 1 tablespoon Homemade sazon completa
- 2-3 loaves Cuban bread (cut into 8-inch long pieces)
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 16 slices ham
- Dill pickle slices
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- With a knife or fork, poke holes into the pork tenderloin. Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish and pour mojo marinade on top along with the Cuban seasoning. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight. The longer the better.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and place it on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 150º. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing on a bias.
- To assemble the sandwich, slice the Cuban bread loaf in half lengthwise. Spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard on each side. Layer the bottom half of the sandwich with 2 slices of Swiss cheese, 4 slices of ham, 2-3 dill pickle slices, and 2-3 thin slices of pork. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter on the outside of both sides of the sandwich. Place the sandwich on a sandwich press or a hot skillet. Press down on the sandwich until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5-6 minutes total.
- Transfer to a cutting board and slice the sandwich in half on the bias. Serve and enjoy!
