Since moving to the Tampa Bay area in Florida I have become obsessed with Cuban Sandwiches. I love to eat them and make them any chance I get. When partnering with St Pierre Bakery to bring you this exclusive recipe, I wanted to create my own version of this classic sandwich using their Brioche Sliders. Now sit back, grab a glass of your favorite chablis, and enjoy this post for St Pierre Mojo Pork Tenderloin Cuban Sliders.
St Pierre Mojo Pork Tenderloin Cuban Sliders
Mix all of the marinade ingredients together except the onion in a blender until smooth.
Placed the sliced onion in a ziploc bag with the trimmed pork tenderloin then pour the marinade over top.
Place the marinated pork and onion mixture into the fridge overnight.
The next day take the pork out of the marinade and preheat your Big Green Egg to 350°F setup for direct grilling. Reserve the marinade with the onions and place in to a saucepan on the stove top. Bring to a low boil then turn down the heat and cook for 30 minutes. When done use a hand blender and blend the mixture together and use as a mop for the pork tenderloin as it grills over the open flame.
When the pork measures 145°F internally, remove and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Split the St Pierre Brioche Slider Rolls and place the bottoms in a cast iron pan. Start layering the mayo/mustard, sliced tenderloin, salami, cheese and pickles.
Next place the brioche top on to the sandwiches and brush the garlic butter mixture all over the top of the buns.
Place back in to the Big Green Egg and let cook 10-15 minutes at 350°F until the buns are toasted and the cheese has melted.
Serve and enjoy!
