This Cuban sandwich on the griddle is an awesome sandwich recipe for your Blackstone or Camp Chef flat top grill! And it’s one of my wife’s favorite sandwiches, so we had to make it!
We made our flat top grill Cuban sandwich (also called a Cubano) with pork tenderloin, because that’s what we already had in our fridge. We started by marinating the pork in a store-bought mojo marinade for a few hours. Then, we sprinkled it with Sazon seasoning (in the Latin aisle of your grocery store).
We put the pork tenderloin on the griddle and rotated it a few times while it was cooking. Then, once your pork is done, take it off the grill and let it rest before slicing thin for your Cuban sandwich.
To build the sandwich, we started by adding some mayonnaise and yellow mustard to our Cuban bread. (I know mayonnaise isn’t traditional, but I like it). Then, we added sliced Black Forest ham, pickles, and Swiss cheese.
Butter the outside of the bread and put your sandwich on the griddle. If you don’t have a sandwich press, no worries. You can use a heavy cast iron skillet like I did, or use a sheet tray with some canned goods on top to weigh it down.
Enjoy!

Kentucky. Fried baloney sandwich with a big hunk of govment cheese. Also, I live in Florida. I love 7-11!
New subscriber. Looks good. From and live in Virginia use the same fresh Cuban bread from Publix to make the chop cheese!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾😍😍❤❤
That is not a Cuban sandwich, that is an ABOMINATION, and an affront to God and all of humanity.
Where's the olive oil? Cubans use that on their rice dishes and sandwiches. What a compliment to any cuban recipes.
Dang I need a life jacket when I watch your videos I almost drowned myself slobbering
O no not mayo I’m from Tennessee also but I live in Tampa and you never put mayonnaise on a Cuban yucky
I’m off I’ll have to throw off my life jacket now. No more slobbering for this sandwich. Ha.
Great video Neal and Amy! But, I'm at a loss. My wife will be home late, told me fend for myself. I picked up a couple subs for dinner and lunch tomorrow. Philly and an Italian. But now I want a Cuban. Great video guys.
I’m Fron Virginia Beach
if you don't have the discipline to keep your fingers away from you nose i'm not eating anything you make
ok. you probably should skip the 7/11 for a good cuban. second. tenderloin is not the way to go. try the shoulder even better if is a combination of the belly and the leg "pernil" publix bread is not even close however is all you have will not pick on that. if you ever on the tampon area. try Michaels bakery cuban bread. absolutely the best. hard to find so la segunda bread is your next best option.
I know you can put whatever you want on your sandwich, but there is no mayo on a Cuban!
As far as regional favorites, i vote for a great SoCal grilled fish tacos… Man that cuban looked fantastic. Great job
You guys are great together! Really love your content and recipes!
Oklahoma and Sid's onion burger can't be beat
I'm with your wife! The Cuban is my favorite sandwich!! Unfortunately, we don't have Publix up here in WI, so I'm gonna have to do something about the bread. Thanks for all your videos! You rock!!
I didn't read all the comments but you are making a variation on the Miami Cuban not the Tamp Cuban which predated Miami by about 60-+.
A Tampa Cuban pays homage to the immigrants that worked in the cigar factories. Roast pork from the Cubans, ham from the Germans,salami from the Italians and I am not sure about the Swiss cheese. Only yellow mustard is used and dill pickles. The difference between Cuban bread and regular bread is that Cuban bread has lard in it, you can fund recipes all over the internet. I lived in Tampa for 34 years and some of the best sandwiches came from little mom and pop stores. I am NIW in Nebraska and we have to work to get our Cubas now.
And……..that’s why I subscribed
nashville hot
Delicious Cuban sandwich
Have never had one. Live in Canada Pacific Northwest.
Man that looks good
How about a loose meat sandwich? Never had one, but, I think it is an Iowa thing….. Also, from the show Rosanne….
Looks great. Best Cuban Sammich I ever had was a little hole in the wall place called Mr. Cubanos in Cape Canaveral, FL. It's no longer open, so my VERY close second is Columbia's in Orlando (Celebration) FL! Very tasty. I am willing to try this by roasting the pork on in those same marinades on my Traeger then finishing the whole thing off on the Flat Rock. Thanks for the inspiration and the great content!
Los cubanos asan un pernil de puerco en el horno ,bien sazonado y después lasquen la carne y como es una pieza grande salen las lascas más finas y enteras y no da tanto volumen ,pero de todas maneras las union de esas carnes con el queso es muy sabrosa ,se ve exquisito 😊
It needs to be flatten even more.
Yep, I've been making those for my family on Sunday. I buy the bread at Publix, but since some of my 5 kids are younger and don't appreciate crusty bread, I would cut a 3/4 " slice of bread out of the middle of the loaf and make another half length sandwich out of that (we called 'em softies). I had so many departures from a traditional Cuban sandwich but 4 things stayed the same: The bread, Roasted pork, Ham and swiss cheese.
Have you watched the movie, "Chef"?
That's a good looking sandwich but your cheese isn't melted on #2.
Just came across this video. We love a good Cuban sandwich. My father in law grew up in Ybor City, two blocks from the Columbia Restaurant. If you want an authentic Cuban sandwich, that's the place to get one.
Without salami, it isn't a Cubano.
Hi I'm from Springfield IL and here we have a food everyone loves hermits called a horseshoe toasted toast and burger or chicken and then fries and the grand finally white cheese sauce u guys got to try it out its amazing
NOOOOOO! You don't put Mayonnaise on a Cuban Sandwhish! I'm Cuban, who taught you how to do a Cuban?
How about a Kentucky hot brown on the griddle? I’d love to see your take on it!
NO mayonnaise on a Cuban sandwich. Ever
You way too serious man just put it on the fucking grill and make a sandwich
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
A lot of Cubans just rolled over in their grave.
Should try a Pork Schnitzel Sandwich.
The fried tenderloin with pickles is a midwest thing, Iowa has it at every restaurant. Had my 1st Cuban a few days ago, it is a phenomenal sandwich! Yours looks amazing!
