It seems that I went a little overboard this time. Hard to really even apologize because it was indeed premeditated
For some reason, every time my wife goes out of town, I cook some really good stuff. I guess it's my way of punishing her, lol! This time I had planned to make a sub. I already had some ham in the freezer from when I cured that pork loin and smoked it not too long ago. I also had some Duroc pork belly bacon curing in the fridge that I smoked yesterday morning. This lead to me buying a turkey breast and brining it and smoking it on the Traeger after the bacon was done. While the turkey was gettin' jiggy with it on the Traeger, I took an Eye of Round that I had marinating in a dry rub overnight in the fridge and threw it on the new toy, the Weber Rotisserie.
Once all meats were done, I vacuum sealed them up (once cooled down) and let them chill in the fridge overnight. After that I made the dough for the sub rolls and let them proof in the garage fridge overnight. I baked off the rolls this afternoon and sliced the meats and put them in the fridge to chill while I shredded a head of lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions and green peppers. I took out all of the condiments and toppings and made a build your own sub type of deal out of it.
I made mine by not fully splitting the roll and coating both sides of the bread with mayo. Next was 3 slices of Swiss, 3 slices of Provolone, 8 slices of Med Rare Roast Beef, 8 slices of Smoked Turkey Breast, 8 slices of Ham (all were thin but not shaved (super thin), 8 little slices of bacon. Next was zesty dill slices (sandwich stackers), tomatoes, red onions, green peppers, black olives, mustard, lettuce,salt & pepper, oregano, oil and red wine vinegar.
It was hard to fold over but I accomplished it! I was able to eat half and I might take a stab at the other half in a little while, lol!
Take a look at my creation won't you?
Now THAT was a Club Sub! I am biased of course, but this was the best sub I've ever eaten. Too bad it costs about $100 to make, lol! Just kidding, it was a lot more expensive than going to a sub shop would be, but it was a fun project. My son loved it so that made it worth every penny
Thanks for looking
