An even better Cuban sandwich
Our Pan Con Bistec is not just a sandwich; it's a foray into a tradition that celebrates simplicity and flavor. The Barbaro Mojo Cuban Hot Sauce is not your average hot sauce. With its robust blend of peppers, garlic, citrus, and a secret mix of spices, it elevates the sandwich from familiar to unforgettable.
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of fresh Cuban bread, split and toasted
- 2 thinly sliced sirloin steaks
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
- Barbaro Mojo Cuban Hot Sauce, to taste
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices
- Optional spreads: mayonnaise, mustard
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep the Steak: Season your thinly sliced steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook to Perfection: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and cook the steaks over medium-high heat. Add a touch of garlic for that aromatic allure. Once done, set them aside.
- Caramelized Goodness: In the same skillet, sauté your onions until they're golden and sweet.
- Build the Layers: Spread your bread with mayo and mustard if you're using them. Then, stack your steak, sautéed onions, a drizzle of Barbaro Mojo Cuban Hot Sauce, and a slice of Swiss cheese.
- The Final Toast: Press your sandwich in a hot skillet or panini press until the cheese is deliciously melted and the bread is irresistibly crispy.
- Serve and Savor: Cut into your Pan Con Bistec and enjoy the melty, spicy goodness!
The Secret Ingredient:
Barbaro Mojo Cuban Hot Sauce is what sets this sandwich apart. Its unique base of Mojo (pronounced "Mo-Ho") uses less vinegar than typical hot sauces, ensuring a flavor that's bold without being overpowering.
Tips for the Perfect Sandwich:
- Bread Matters: Cuban bread is the traditional choice, but any good, crusty bread will do in a pinch.
- The Right Heat: Adjust the amount of Barbaro Mojo to your personal heat preference.
- Keep it Juicy: Don't overcook the steak. Thin slices mean quick cooking times!
