Folks, let me tell you about my fantastic new spin on the Cuban sandwich! The Cuban sandwich is said to have originated in Florida. It traditionally consists of Cuban bread, ham, roast pork, pickles, and Swiss cheese. Once assembled, the sandwich is pressed on a griddle.

Smoking hot here and show you now once you get that spread out i’ve got some leftover pork butt from the texas style pork butt i’ve done it’s been frozen vacuum sealed i thought it out it’s still ice cold what i’m gonna do is i’m gonna get this on my flat top
And while i’m putting that pulled pork down here i’m gonna take my bread that i’ve already cut open my french bread put a little butter on i’m going to get it down over here on this side of the grill i’ve got it running medium over here i’m going to start toasting those
That bread on that one side now this barbecue here you want to take it get it on your griddle and this is the way i do it if you’ve got a better way to do it please do it i’m going to take a little bit of my
Water here for a little bit of steam and my dome cover i’m gonna go down there and i’m gonna do that two or three times let it steam flip it steam flip it till i get it hot the bread gets toasted and we’ll get ready to assemble our sandwich foreign
All right guys our pork is about warmed up you can see it’s where it needs to be i’m cutting my griddle down a little bit on this side i am going to take and i’m going to drizzle a little bit just a little of my vinegar-based barbecue sauce
When i say just a little bit i just want to live in this poor cup just to sprig that’s it not much that was probably not even a quarter cup uh total but it just helped add a little bit of acidity and flavor to it when we assemble our sandwich
Now i’m going to push that pork over here till we get ready to build our sandwich now you can see that our bread is toasting up awful nice right here so i’m gonna move that off and get ready to toast some ham up so i’ve got some ham here
We’re gonna throw down this is just some thinly sliced um i think this is virginia ham actually now while your ham’s cooking it’s going to be quick turn it over here now while you got your ham cooking i’m going to go ahead and squirt a little mustard down
On both sides of our bread here across i’m going to go ahead and squirt a little blue plate mayo down just because i like mayo on mine and you don’t have to do mayonnaise if you don’t want to it’s completely up to you now you just want to keep flipping this
Ham just like this you get it to where you want it start rolling your pork now you know what we’re fisting to do we’re gonna take start putting our pork on our sandwiches once we get them all assembled we’re gonna throw some ham on and some swiss cheese
Now once we get all of our everything off of our grill here we’re gonna scrape it off and get ready to press these and they know they’re gonna be good now i’m gonna squirt a little bit more mustard on mine and then of course you know

This press on it do the same thing with this one get a press on it now i’m going to take to help that cheese melt not touch the bread just give it a little bit of steam around it might help might not i know this is going to be good when
We’re finished with it now remember our sandwiches are going to be messy and big and flavorful and that’s what we want and make sure you keep that press stacked up there to roll off that french bread now i did buy the narrow french bread you can buy the great wide but that’s
Going to be a massive sandwich if you’re making it for a crowd and you can go back and cut it into wedges by all means try that one all right guys our sandwiches are ready and we’re just about ready to get them over the cutting board and get them cut
All right guys our sandwiches are off the grill and just to recap we took some of our leftover pulled pork from our texas style boston butt threw it on our black stone griddle steamed it with a little bit of water splashed it with a tad a tangy vinegar
Barbecue sauce when we toasted up some french bread we topped that with some grilled ham some swiss cheese and pickles some mayo mustard and made one heck of a barbecue cuban sandwich so there’s only one thing left to do and let’s try this thing let’s get her sliced and get a bite

Looks great in the thumbnail!
You lost me at French bread? Let me overnight mail you some Cuban bread the next time you get a hankering to make a Cuban sandwich.
Looks good and great job. Keep on cooking man.<👍
Great as always.. another recipe for my left over pulled pork!!
Demolish… That's great
You know I am excited you started making blackstone videos. I love your spices garlic jalapeño and garlic butter are amazing I randomly found them at a bbq store.
You know the food is delicious when you start swerving your hands around with no words to describe the taste.
That looks down right tasty
Outstanding cook Heath! Great use of l/o pulled pork and EASY!
That totally looks soo good lol
Yes sir !!
Sorry..that might be a good sandwich
..but …don't call it cuban…cause it is not close..
Great looking sandwich
As a miami native I can truly appreciate your take on this Cuban classic. Folks don’t realize Cuban bread isn’t available in most parts of the country and French bread is as close as you’ll get. Cheers Heath keep on crushing these videos
Mouth watering deliciousness my friend.
Hell yea I used to do one at the bbq restaurant that was a smoked Turkey cubano they loved it on the panini press
I miss those days one day I’ll be back at it in my own restaurant
With your old Deep South 42 smoker that is lol
Epic sandwich!!!!
I just so happen to have leftover frozen pulled pork and I just made some fresh dill pickles. I am so totally making these. Thanks for sharing Heath!
Very Nice as usual, Blackstone griddles do serve a purpose in the arsenal of cookers..I really enjoy them so much I have two different sizes.. Thanks.
Looks delish! A heads up, a masonry brick wrapped in foil makes a great press for just about anything, I like the weight.🥩
Made these last night after making the "easiest pulled pork recipe" on Thursday night. Both are mouthwateringly Delicious!!!!
I’d hit that minus the pickles. 🚫🥒😎
I used your recipe from this video for my family last night. All said it was the best Sandwich I have made for them. My kids, grandkids, mother in law and sister in law come over every Sunday night for a family meal. Thank you for sharing. I have added this to my recipe book for outdoor cooking.
Love me well made Cuban sandwich
