Pan con Bistec (Cuban Palomilla Steak Sandwich) is by far one of my favorite sandwiches. Thinly sliced steak that is tenderized, marinated, fried in olive oil and then topped with sauteed onions and pressed to a buttery golden brown. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
A Medianoche Sandwich consists of ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, dill pickles and mustard. It is a close cousin to the Cuban sandwich, the main difference being that a Medianoche is made on soft, sweet egg dough bread similar to Challah rather than on crustier Cuban bread.
This West Tampa Cuban Sandwich recipe is the way that I have enjoyed most of the Cuban sandwiches I have eaten in West Tampa for over 40 years… You just can’t go wrong with this version of the popular sandwich.
Making a good Pan con Bistec Empanizado (Breaded Steak Sandwich) is really easy if you pick a good cut of meat, tenderize it, marinate it, bread it with good ingredients and lightly fry them with care. Serve it on some fresh Cuban Bread, with fried onions and Mayo and you will be in heaven. YUM!!
This Bleu Cheese Dressing is inspired by Hooters Blue Cheese Dressing which I truly LOVE!! Easy to make, tastes great and is a perfect side for chicken wings or dressing on your favorite salad.
