Cuban Sandwiches

Serves 6
3 lb. Pork Shoulder
2 T Salt
1 T Pepper
1 T Cumin
1 T Oregano
1 large onion chopped
2 T Garlic minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. chili flakes
2 cups chicken broth
3 oz. lime juice
2 loaves French Bread
3 cups mayonnaise
Juice from 1 orange
Juice from 1 lime
1 T garlic mashed to paste
1 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. kosher salt
Handful of cilantro leaves
Mustard
1 lb Swiss Cheese (about 12 slices)
Kosher Dill Pickles
1 lb sliced ham

Begin by braising the pork shoulder. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Add about two ounces of olive oil to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Sauté onion, garlic, bay leaf and chili flakes until they begin to infuse the oil. Add the chicken broth and lime juice. Place the braising rack in the cooker and add the
shoulder.
Set oven temp to 375 degrees. Allow to cook for 2 hours. Turn the shoulder over
and cook for another 2 hours. Check occasionally to make sure your liquid has not evaporated. Add more chicken stock as needed. Allow to cool in the juices before removing for slicing. Cook to an internal temperature of 180-190 degrees.
To prepare the Cuban sandwiches, split the bread in half. Layer with mustard,
cheese, pickles, ham, pork then cheese again. Season between the ham and pork layers with salt, pepper and a some of the au jus.
Heat the cast iron griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the outside of the bread with melted butter. Place the sandwiches on the griddle and place large bricks wrapped in foil to press the sandwiches. Cook for about 5 minutes per side or until the bread is toasted.
Mix the mayo spread. In a blender, combine the mayonnaise, 1⁄2 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt until smooth. Add the cilantro and blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
Assembly: Spread the bottom slice of bread with mustard and one slice of swiss cheese. Build the rest of the sandwich on the top slice of bread, starting with the top layer of swiss cheese, followed by a slice of ham and the Pork. Place a liberal layer of pickles over the pork, and top that with a full-on slathering of the cilantro mayonnaise. Flip the bottom up onto the top and press down firmly to compact.

Country Fried Steak w/ Béchamel Gravy

Serves 8

3/4 cup whole milk
1 large eggs
1 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons seasoned salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 T - Patter Fam Beef Rub
2 pounds Steak or Beef Round Steak – sliced, tenderized
Kosher salt
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
Béchamel Sauce
2 tablespoons of reserved grease from frying
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup seasoned flour dredge
4 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

For the steak:
Slice semi-frozen beef into ¼” slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer until 1/8” thick. Season with Kosher salt and black pepper.
Begin with setting up an assembly line of dishes. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the flour mixed with the beef rub, in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
Work with one piece of meat at a time. Place it in the flour mixture. Turn to coat.
Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. When the butter sizzles you know it's ready. Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.

Drain the frying pan of grease and reserve for cooking. Leave the bits in the skillet. Add 2 T of the frying grease and 3 T of butter and melt over medium low heat until the butter sizzles. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and still blonde in color.
At the same time heat milk until scalding (small bubbles along the edge) and then turn off the heat. Add the hot milk to the roux 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat. Season with salt and nutmeg, and add the cheese, stirring to melt and combine. Season with more salt or pepper if needed.
