Mojo Marinated Pork Tenderloin Grilled for a Cuban Sandwich

If you’re a fan of Cuban Sandwiches then you’re going to love this recipe. First I make a fresh mojo marinade and cover 2 whole pork tenderloins in it for a couple hours. (Be sure to reserve ½ cup of the marinade for the glaze).
Once the pork has soaked up all the delicious flavor from the marinade, fire up the Big Green Egg and bring the temperature to 275-300⁰ throw a few chunks of Hickory grillewood.com on the hot coals for smoke.
Place the tenderloins on the grill and cook for about 40 minutes. Use the reserved marinade to make a mojo glaze: Heat a small pot over medium high heat and add the marinade, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup honey, 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar and 2 Tablespoons Yellow mustard. Whisk it all together and reduce by half until it forms a thick glaze.
Once the pork tenderloins hit about 140 internal (about 40 minutes on the grill) brush the outside with the glaze and continue to cook for another 10 minutes or an internal of 145-150⁰. Get them off the heat and rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
Crank the grill heat up to 375⁰ by opening the vents and get ready to assemble the sandwiches.
First split a couple loaves of French or Italian bread in half lengthwise creating a top and bottom piece. Spread yellow mustard on the inside of both halves and layer with Swiss Cheese slices, dill pickles, Deli Style smoked honey ham, and plenty of slices of the tenderloin. Top with the other half of bread and place a few pats of butter on top.
When the grill is good and hot, place the sandwiches on directly on the rack and use a heavy case iron pan to press them down. Cook for 4-5 minutes and flip over and repeat the process. Carefully remove them from the grill (they will be smokin’ hot!) and cut in half to serve.
Cuban Sandwiches are packed with flavor from the marinated pork to the crispness of the dill pickle and creaminess of the swiss cheese. It’s one sandwich that’s guaranteed to make your taste buds happy!

I just had an authentic Cuban sandwich and these almost look better!
What so special about it. Worst unhealthy sandwich I ever had. Not creative by combining a whole bunch of meats together. A simple eggs and ham sandwich taste much better
Nice. Very well presented and explained video. But did you forget the mayo?
This man does know what kind of sandwiches i love.
This guy really needs to eat less, or maybe he ate the grill?
I grew up eating Cuban Sandwiches but they were made with "Garlic Mayo" not mustard.
i have to comment..lol i watch alot of your videos..and they are awesome ! i am doing this one…dont have food processor but will chop everything up amrinade…cheers from Alberta, Canada !
my girlfriend said u look like a cannibal
Malcom – our new favorite grilled sandwich! We followed your recipe this weekend and it was delicious!!! We couldn't stop eating it! Thanks for sharing!
No Cuban bread, or salami. Not real Cuban sandwich. Also, you're supposed to butter the top and bottom of the sandwich before you press it.
Tampa cubans have ham, mojo pork, salami and swiss cheese with pickles and mustard and mayo. Your version looks delish.
you know its good because he closed his eyes when he bit it
Hey Malcom, love you brother!
This is our favorite recipe we have ever done!!! We can't stop making this over and over again! Thanks for sharing, you're the best!
Looks delicious!!!
My guy should be on T.V
Hi,I did it. Amazing recipe.Thanks
No, requires Cuban bread.
Great stuff, I tried it turned out great…
If I don’t have a smoker. Is there another way to cook the pork?
thats a great recipe,,my turn, I love tenderloins, but prior to bagging them, I put them in a bowl w/marinade and Fork them, use 2 forks, 1fork in 1out back and forth about 20x, then bag them, gonna be yummy.
Nice sandwich, Malcom but cilantro & mint isn’t a typical Cuban seasoning for meat even though it’s a wildly available herb throughout all Caribbean islands. You’re gonna wanna go with oregano, cumin, bay leaves, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, no pepper, bitter orange (substitute grapefruit & orange juice if you don’t have any), & don’t use lime juice as it’s very acidic & over powers the other flavors. It also doesn’t go with the mojo recipe. As for bread, good call, sir. All Roman Catholic nations love their lard bread.
We come a long way from meat in a stick. Lol. Oh wait no! We do still eat meat on a stick!! Lol. Reed is the best!!!! 👀💯💪🇺🇸😎
These sandwiches are called "medianoche" by the Cubans cuz they taste so damn good after you've enjoyed a few belts.
Killed it again. Great food
your the best my man! take it from this Cuban….my mouth is watering…can't wait to use your recipe. Thanks again.
