The Tampa Cuban Cheesesteak | Blackstone Griddle

[@tmbgator2]

As a Tampa Native, I approve this sandwich!! Well done sir!!

[@robwilkie5382]

Dude! This sandwich is rockin'!!!! No shortage of flavors. Its top notch

[@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ]

Thanks Rob! This one was fantastic. The crunch was magical

[@BlackstoneBetty]

✔️ love the thin ribeye ✔️ cheese ✔️ I’m all for Mayo on a cheesesteak ✔️ nice roll ✔️ salami I’m all about ✔️ wit the addition of ham and the sauce and pressing it turning your steak sandwich into a Cuban or a is fun! And a nice crunch! Crunchy ‘Cheesesteak’ Cubans not sure who in the world would hate on it. I might have to make one!

🤣😂🤣 I understand completely... and also... you’re welcome

[@dougrogers835]

That looks absolutely amazing. The only change I would make is Cuban pickles instead of relish. That's just me. Love the Dukes mayo. I am from the south, my NY niece hates Dukes. I tease her about it all the time now that she is in the south.

[@micheleweber8297]

This looks absolutely mouth watering!! The crunch of that bread, the meltiness of the cheese and the tang of that sauce is just perfect. Flavor bomb for real. Great job Chef Nathan! Looking forward to trying this recipe! 🌞👏👏

Texture for days!

Oh yeah! Nate! - Again, showing off the total versatility of the Blackstone griddle. Old adage... "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" New adage... "Taste is in the mouth of the beholder". If you can make something that tastes good to YOU - AND checks all the boxes for flavor and crispiness... Culinary success! - And enjoyment! - End of story.

“So here’s the thing…this is really good…not a cheesesteak.” -Nate Lippy 🤣 Love the page from chef CJ’s book taking it to another level. Can’t say I would have ever thought to combine a cheesesteak with a Cuban but what a genius move. Props on this one 🔔🍻

Nate, I say if you are making a cheese steak and it is going to be different than a "traditional" sandwich, call it a "cheesy steak" that way you can make it any way you want. Then if you get negative comments, just tell those bastards it is a cheesy steak, not a cheese steak! 😁

This could totally work with chicken. I would cook boneless and skinless chicken thigh on high heat with salt and pepper and a bit of oil. Chop it up pretty small and use that in place of the ribeye.

[@havingfun3619]

Putting Salami on a Cuban is diabolical . It's like giving a 1972 Pinto a new paint job ..why? Save the salami for a bomb Italian. 💣 Philly has 2 things...A Rocky statue and a cracked bell. -

[@ItsAPartywithNateandCJ]

No way! The true origins of the Cuban hail from Tampa where the large immigrant population and there independent tastes helped craft the iconic recipe. Cubans, Germans and Italians all have a hand in the creation of this masterpiece. Mustard and pickles from the Germans, ham and salami from the Italians and Cuban pork and bread. It’s a fusion of culture wrapped in a sandwich. It’s not a true Cuban without salami.

Just moved to Tampa (Brandon area). Who’s got the best Cuban in town??

[@mph7282]

Strawberry Hut in Plant City makes excellent ones. Lots of good ones all over Tampa. Columbia, La Segunda, Brocato’s and West Tampa Sandwich shop are popular. Avoid any that 1) contain lettuce and tomatoes, 2) contain mayonnaise, 3) don’t contain the salami. And pressing is sort of the nouveau, faux way. Traditional is cold. But you won’t lose your Tampan card for eating it pressed.
