- A Cuban sandwich is a combination of roasted pork, ham, and cheese that originated among the Cuban workers in the cigar factories in Key West, Florida as early as 1831. I tried to keep the flavors authentic & cooked it up on the Lone Star Grillz lonestargrillz... offset vertical Smoker.

I love Cuban sandwiches. Some friends and I went to an authentic Cuban Café and a friend asked if he could get a Cuban sandwich without mustard, he was told "NO!".
Period
I’m Cuban the sandwich wasn’t “ must is Cuban bread” harder grill and cut at an angle. Then you have a Cuban.
Cheers!!!
Amazing Greg! Noting like any Cuban sandwich I've had. Lot's of love went into that cook bro.
Thank you brother!
@@BallisticBBQ My pleasure I hope you and the family are doing well.
Nice sandwich but for an authentic Cuban sandwich you forgot the salami.
living in Tampa Fl. I know a good cuban sandwich when I taste one...your"s is pretty damn close.
Tampa in the house
Nice looking Cuban Sandwich Greg! and I should know as Tampa is the home of the Cuban Sandwich, not Miami like some think..LOL They were made for the Cigar factory workers back when Tampa was the Cigar Factory capital of the world..
Sorry before Miami or Tampa ,we habe cuban sandwich and medianoche in PR in 1970
@@axelagosto5196 1970? Try Tampa in 1900 or so - "When The cigar industry in Florida shifted to Tampa in the mid-1880s, when the immigrant community of Ybor City was founded by cigar manufacturer Vicente Martinez-Ybor. Tens of thousands of Cuban, Spanish, and Italian workers moved to the area over following decades, jumpstarting the growth of Tampa from a village to a bustling city. The first recorded mentions of a distinct Cuban sandwich survive in descriptions of workers' cafés in Ybor City and nearby West Tampa from around 1900, leading other historians to theorize that the sandwich as now constituted first appeared there.[12][13][14][15][16] A travel article published by the Mason City Globe Gazette in 1934 said that Tampa's cooking was "much more distinctive than elsewhere in the state" and lists Cuban sandwiches (along with Cuban bread) among the city's "signature foods".[17] Researcher Andrew Huse states that "the old 'mixtos' coalesced into something more distinct - the Cuban sandwiches we know and love - an original Tampa creation."[4]"
Excellent video and fantastic looking cubano!
Meh looks just OK, would leave out the pickles for sure. Seems like a basic sandwich I can get at the local street corner.
I enjoyed this cook but I sure wish you'd bring back pouring the beer of the cook into a glass. I always enjoyed that part.
I will start doing that again. A heads up... My next video that posts wasn't poured. I'll bring back the glass!
I'm sadly behind the times in that I've never had a Cuban Sandwich, but my son sent pictures of some he was enjoying when he was in Miami recently. Yours looks like it could come out of the best joints in Little Havana :)
A Cuban sandwich has sliced pork, not pulled. Think this needs a bit more engineering.
I'm surprised you didn't get crucified in the comments by the purists for your garlic oil addition 😆
Tampa Native approved! Although we do add salami, it's a local thing :)
Tampa in here
Hi Greg, just a quick note from my side: I didn't get any notificatioms from YT for your last three videos (including the Chicago smashed). Never had any probs before so I guess it's a YT thing.
Anyway, as always, great videos!
Thorsten Frank I get that a lot. I hear the same frustrations coming from creators and viewers... It’s a RUclips thing I guess. Make sure that the “bell” is still clicked on. I think this glitch has been in-clicking viewers.
@@BallisticBBQ Hi, I´m a long time subscriber, and viewer, and never had any problems before - the reason I noticed it is because you reguarly post videos and was a bit surprised I didn´t get any notifications for two weeks which made me suspicous.
I´d really would like to know what´s going on at RUclips.
Great looking Cuban sandwich Greg! I made one a few months back and it was so good. I had a Cuban sandwich in Miami several years back and I'd fly back just to have it again. Great job!👍🏼
I worked at the Miami Airport for a few years and learned to love Cuban food. Now I’m craving a real, genuine Cuban sandwich.
You sure do eat some great lunches Greg. I'm gonna have to crash your cook one of these days to get me some of that fine eating I see you making all the time!!! Cheers to ya brother!
I need that sammich in my life!
I was worried right up until the end you didn't have a plancha or flat griddle tray that could press the sandwich (because of course it's a grilled cheese sandwich on steroids) Then you blew my mind again with using that grill attachment on the Lone Star. That was epic
Looks fantastic as always brother
Thank you brother! I've been wanting to do this video for a while now!
Looks pretty legit. Thanks for keeping it authentic. The beer should have been something from Cigar City!
I live in Tampa (home of the cuban), I've never seen one that good.
Go to Wright's. They've won best of the bay for Cubans quite a few times. Also, Big Ray's on Interbay has a bangin' Cuban.
Please don't lie to him , that was a poor take on a Cuban
One time for Tampa Cuban sandwiches and the SUPER BOWL 2021

Great looking Sandwich Greg. The brined pork has to infuse some nice flavors. Meatlover's special.
Greg, great video, love me a good Cubano. Have you ever used your vacuum sealer to assist with the marinade process? Works great.
That sandwich looks Amazing 👍🏼👍🏼
I could totally tear up that whole thing right now. And drink that beer too 😎
Hey Greg, awesome vid as always. BTW, can you not use fork on glassware? Dental ambient makes me cringe.
Noted. Will not do this anymore. Thanks for letting me know.
@@BallisticBBQ wow, didn't think this would get noticed. You're one of the most considerate RUclipsrs out there. Cheers.
Looks great. Planning on making Cuban sandwiches this weekend. At what temp and hours did you cook the pork shoulder? I’m smoking a 3.5lb pork shoulder on my pellet grill.
Noooo, noooo! You were doing SO well until you 'Gring'od' it with the mustard and then on top of that the Swiss Cheese! ;) Onion in lemon and mayo, and Land O' Lakes WHITE Cheese will make it way tastier.
Greg that cuban sandwich looks fantastic! Wow I have never tried anything like that before.
AMAZING CUBE SAWICH THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨
If you can’t find bitter orange, you can also just use lemon or lime juice. Some people prefer using that instead of the bitter orange. Also, I know you said you got the bread from a Cuban restaurant, but that didn’t look like Cuban bread. The crust is too dark and Cuban bread also doesn’t have that score pattern on the top. Cuban bread is usually much lighter in color, and the loafs are usually bigger. Restaurants in Miami cut the loafs down to make the sandwiches. On average you can get about three sandwiches from a single loaf of bread. Supermarkets do sell smaller sandwich sized loafs, but restaurants don’t really use them.
Also, this sandwich has two different builds. If you live in the Miami area, the build is pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickle and yellow mustard. If you live in the Tampa area, they also add salami to it. Some places also add mayo, but I think that’s sacrilegious.
If you replace the Cuban bread with an egg bread, you wind up with the Cuban sandwich’s cousin the medianoche or midnight sandwich. The sweeter bread gives it a completely different flavor profile. You should try it.
My only critique is the use of “authentic” in the title. The lack of Salami and calling that bread Cuban Bread cost you a few points, but other than this, great job. I will have to try your pork recipe for my next Cubano.
We Cubans marinate the pork for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator. Also, we bake the ham, and not use sliced ham, which is a bit too salty. It was invented from the Christmas dinner leftovers.
We are going to be making this tomorrow - so could you clarify for me the timing. I understand it goes in at 250 degrees for an hour to an hour and a half uncovered, but is it another three hours after you cover it or three hours total cook?? Definitely don't want to overcook. Thanks (PS: we have just under a 5# pork.)
Good looking sandwich, but it's not a Cuban without genoa salami. This is what is what is commonly referred to as the "Miami knockoff sandwich"
Love this channel, Greg. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for sharing with us!
Sorry but not an authentic Cuban Sandwich. That is not real baked Cuban Bread that you buy as a large roll and the pork is never pulled but sliced off a pork leg in thin slices. Take it from me a Cuban in Miami that has tasted real sandwiches and real Cuban Bread bought at Cuban bakeries.
Looks delicious. Just needs to be flatter and crispier from the plancha for the right texture
Delicious Cuban sandwich 🔝Greetings
Hey man, really appreciate your videos, but it's tough when I'm fasting! Keep it up man!
@@JoesCaribbeanVanLife why would you fast if you don't want to?
Too oily, 6:59 you never use that amount of oil inside the sandwich, you already have the fat of the pork. Look at all that oil dripping when you held it. 9:02
not much on Cuban, German, Russian foods.
Great looking Cuban sandwich!
This recipe is copied from this video verbatim: ruclips.net/video/OKJVZTMsLIY/видео.html
Nice Fricken sandwich Greg !!! Way to go Bro 👍👍
🔥🔥🔥 Cubano brotha, awesome episode 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
8:42 But for real tho, he's probably the most real nigga you'll ever meet
Great video, Greg. You could prolly stealthily dispatch your neighbor if necessary. Just sayin'...
Or just give word to a S.W.A.T. team that he has volunteered his location for a 2am drill.
Outstanding! That’s all I can say. I would eat that whole sammich, Brother!

Awsome sammich. As much as I love swiss cheese is there any other type of cheese you would suggest?
Hey Greg, would you get a more authentic mojo flavor in the pork if you marinated overnight? Would it be better or to over powering? I really want to try this recipe. Any tips would be appreciated.
We Cubans marinate the pork for 2 to 3 days in therefrigerator. We also use baked ham, not sliced ham, which is a bit too salty.
Delicious Looking Cuban sandwich Greg ... Packed full of flavor and crispy bread ... Great job Cheers
Good looking sandwich and very nice knife.
You should do a show off all your cool grill's video next.
Looks delicious! Great job
Hey man another absolutely fantastic video- thanks! Quick question- how did you cook the pork to fall-off-the-bone at 250F for only 3 hours? Was it because you braised and covered it? When I smoke butts on my shitty generic kettle I keep it at 250 but it takes like 7 hours, wrapped in foil for the last 2.
Just seeing this two years later. Nice sandwich. I remember my first Cuban in Miami. 2010. It was wonderful, as I’m sure yours is. Cheers.
can you please do bubble bass' burger order from spongebob
I grew up eating Cuban sandwiches and I gotta your sandwich looks amazing. 🔥🔥🔥♨️
Nothing better than a good el Cubano! Rock On Greg!
Wow! That looks awesome...Thanks!
Great cook Greg, love me some Cuban sandwiches!
OMG, that looks killer!
Olive oil in a Cuban sandwich?
looks good but that is not cuban bread, lol
Where's the Genoa Salami? No one calls them "El Cubano." And they originated in my home town, Tampa, not Miami.
What makes Cubanos so amazing (besides how delicious they are) is their cultural heritage. Cubans in Miami had a pork sandwich, that much is true, but Miami was not culturally diverse enough for people to need to call them Cubanos because they were pretty much only eaten by Cubans. There weren't enough outsiders around eating them to need to identify them as the sandwich that Cubans eat.
Similarly, Italians don't call sandwiches with salami on them Italian subs. Other cultures identified them with Italians and started calling them that. And it makes sense when you consider that they originated in a very diverse NYC. There needed to be a way to concery that the sandwich had Italian meats on it.
The same thing happened when Cubans moved to Tampa to work in the booming cigar industry. In Tampa, they came in contact with the growing Italian population. Then Genoa salami was added, and people started calling them Cubanos since they were originally made by Cubans.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk, and will someone please send some Cuban bread to Seattle for me? It can be Publix brand. I don't care. Just send a lot. And some cold pizza from Alessi, too. Ugh, why did I ever move to a place a culturally boring as Seattle?
You sound like you'd fit right in, in Seattle - I've never read such a dull, pretentious comment in all my life.
@@semi-skimmedmilk4480 Aawwww, sounds like someone needs his diaper changed. Does your mommy know you're on the internet acting like a stupid little brat?
I would hate to be your neighbor. Haha 😆 but, I love your videos. Makes me wish I made more money to get quite a few of your heat givers(grills).
Nice sammie! And that’s awesome Mother Earth is out in Cali. The Brewery is 20 miles from my house!
Looks good but I am a muslim :(
Do the Angry Whopper.
رائع
Just came across your channel . The cubano and the Reuben sandwhiches are the best sandwiches ever made. I just ate the Reuben and I have a cubano in the fridge ready to reheat as I'm typing this. God bless you brother, be well.
I love a good Cuban sandwich... hard "pressed" to find a better sandwich. See what I did there?
wow I want that lone star planche press
Looks like a good sandwich. Most of the shops here in Tampa use a combination of mustard and mayo. Also the bakeries that make Cuban bread use a knife cut on top of the loaf and insert a palmetto leaf before baking. It adds a slight touch of flavor to the crust and after baking they pull it out but occasionally a bit of the leaf stays in the bread.
Thanks for sharing,got to try it .
Born and raised in Miami between Cuban sandwiches and all, this looks like an amazing Cuban sandwich!!!
One of my favorite sandwiches. I did similar, but didn't cook in marinade. I like your method and will update.
damn that pork looks good
Would love to see you cook with some wild game Greg. I'm sure you would have some killer ideas that my shallow mind hasn't come up with yet.
Homemade bacon soon????
Looove cubanos!
Man I hope I run into that ham in my lifetime such a “nice “ guy have many questions for that guy
Ive never been more confused by a comment
Nice slices of ham . Into nice folks
Never heard about Cuban sandwich before, will cook it tomorrow, look so good. :)
Awesome video once again Greg. Will be trying this on my Pit Barrel!!
I love Portos sandwich if yall from los angels area go to Glendale best Cuban sandwich
OMG
fat side up, greg!
Awesome video!!
Great episode as always! One tip: do something about the lighting of your face. First 3 minutes is pretty dark. There is some room for improvement there.
That Sandwich is looking great and I will give it a try for sure - like it 👍👍👍
I love your videos and how much research you do. I'm no pro at all, but just a tip, get a fill light. Your background is so bright it's hard to see you. Just a cheap clamp light with a daytime bulb pointing at you will make a huge difference. Again, not being a a jerk, just want you to get the best shots possible. Cheers!
You have a knack for making people's mouths water, with such amazing food. That sandwich looks really awesome. Cheers, Greg!
Yummy for my tummy
Awesome video, Greg! You’re making me hungry!
How do I stay so lean and ripped cooking like this all the time?
Looks good !!
Greg at 11 pm: I can't believe I ate the whole thing....
*downs the Alka Seltzer*
Finally!!
