The Cuban burger offers a quick alternative to the traditional Cuban sandwich by replacing marinated roast pork with a beef patty. It maintains the beloved flavor profile of a Cubano through toppings like Swiss cheese, pickles, and a mustard-mayo spread. Preparation is simplified by using grilled or pan-fried beef patties, and achieving the classic pressed style is easy with the use of a grill or panini press. Authenticity can be enhanced by using crusty Cuban bread or French baguette slices for the bun.
The Cuban burger retains the traditional Cuban sandwich's savory flavor profile and juicy mouthfeel while replacing the slow-cooked pork with beef patties, drastically reducing prep time.
To assemble, grill or pan-fry burgers, melt Swiss cheese on top, layer with pickles, and smear a mustard-and-mayo mixture on the bun.
To achieve the classic pressed style of a Cubano, place the assembled burger back on the grill, toasting both sides while pressing gently with a spatula.
For an authentic Cuban burger experience, use crusty Cuban bread; if unavailable, French baguette slices can be a suitable alternative.
