I was late to jump on the banh mi bandwagon, so much so that the all out craze they had going so many years ago was breathing its last breath when I finally joined. Still, my first taste of one of these Vietnamese sandwiches was a revelation—the contrast between the sweet and salty meat, pickled diakons and carrots, fresh cilantro, and airy, crusty bread was nothing short of spectacular. Whether in or out of food fashion, I still think these are royalty among sandwiches, deserving continued prominence, which is why I'm bringing you this grilled steak banh mi today.

If you're a Meatwave veteran, you may have noticed that after a single skinless, boneless chicken breast recipe in the early days, this piece of meat has become long absent from the blog. This is no coincidence, as I quickly learned this chicken part does not make good grilling—it's too easy to end up with a dry, flavorless piece of meat. So does that discredit the skinless, boneless breast from grilling altogether? I say no, and this blackened chicken sandwich is solid proof of that.

Remember last week when I said my two picnic shoulders, roasted into Pernil, went fast? That amazing disappearing pork had a whole lot to do with these Cubanos. Yes, the meat was excellent on its own, but there's something some so right, so exceptional with a Cubano—a pressed sandwich with ham, roasted pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard—that makes it truly irresistible.

I tend to consider myself a pretty nice guy. Heck, for six months out of the year I invite all of my friends and then some over to my house consistently for some grilling and barbecue. Even if there is some narcissistic component to that (who doesn't like to be told their cooking rocks), my main joy is watching other people be happy and relish in the good times. Still, there's an evil side to me that lurks underneath, and I have all the proof right here, concealed in this very steak sandwich.
