Introduction

Creating the perfect Cubano sandwich on the Arteflame grill is a delightful and satisfying experience. With its ability to sear at high temperatures and a flat griddle cooktop that ensures an even sear without burning, you can achieve a golden, crispy sandwich filled with layers of savory ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. Follow this recipe to make a Cubano sandwich that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients:

• 4 Cuban bread rolls or hoagie rolls
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 8 slices of Swiss cheese
• 8 slices of ham
• 1 lb roasted pork, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
• 4 tbsp yellow mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill by lighting the fire and allowing it to heat up. Get it ready for grilling by ensuring the flat griddle cooktop is clean and lightly oiled.

2. Prepare the bread: Spread softened butter on the outside of each bread roll. Spread yellow mustard on the inside of each roll.

3. Assemble the sandwiches: Layer the bottom half of each roll with Swiss cheese, ham, roasted pork, and dill pickles. Top with the remaining cheese slices and place the top half of the bread roll on each sandwich.

4. Grill the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on the flat griddle cooktop, using the medium heat zone. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Use a spatula to press down slightly for an even sear.

5. Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Butter over olive oil: Using butter instead of olive oil adds a rich, delicious flavor to the bread.
• Different heat zones: Utilize the different heat zones on the Arteflame grill’s flat griddle cooktop to control the cooking temperature perfectly.
• Even sear: Pressing the sandwich lightly with a spatula ensures an even sear and helps melt the cheese thoroughly.
• Remove early: Always remove the sandwiches when the internal temperature is 15F below the desired doneness as they will keep cooking off the heat.

The solid steel cooktop ensures an even sear without burning, while the different heat zones allow for precise cooking.
