Creating Your Masterpiece

Perfect The Cut:
Slice the submarine roll at a 45-degree angle to create a 'hinge' that holds ingredients securely while eating.
Master The Layering:
Start with meats and cheese on the bottom half, which provides a moisture barrier protecting the bread.
Build The Flavor Base:
Alternate meat varieties to create flavor complexity throughout each bite of the sandwich.
Create The Freshness Layer:
Add tomatoes, onions, and lettuce on top of the meats and cheese for textural contrast.
Complete With Sauce:
Apply sauce to both the top roll and over the vegetables for even distribution in every bite.

This sub has become my go-to option for satisfying lunches that keep me energized through busy afternoons. The balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fresh vegetables creates a complete meal in a portable package.

Perfect Pairings

Complete your meal with complementary sides. Serve with kettle-cooked potato chips for extra crunch. A dill pickle spear adds tangy contrast to the rich sandwich. For a fresher option, add a simple side salad with vinaigrette. During cooler months, pair with a cup of tomato soup for the ultimate comfort meal.

Creative Variations

Adapt this versatile sandwich to suit any preference. Try a Mediterranean version with mortadella, capicola and prosciutto. Create an Italian sub by adding pepperoncini and Italian dressing. Make it healthier with turkey, chicken breast and lean roast beef. For heat lovers, add sliced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese.

Storage Success

Keep components fresh when preparing ahead. Store assembled sandwiches wrapped tightly in wax paper, then foil. For best results with advance preparation, store vegetables separately and add just before eating. The sriracha mayo keeps well in a sealed container for up to two weeks.

Through countless sandwich creations, I've found that attention to detail transforms even the most basic ingredients into something special. This triple meat sub proves that thoughtful assembly and balance create a satisfying meal that's worth getting excited about.

10 1 ½ tablespoons sriracha sauce

Instructions

Step 01

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the Sriracha sauce. Reserve.

Notes

  1. The remaining sriracha sauce can be refrigerated in a squeeze bottle or air-tight container for up to two weeks.
  2. Cold cut sandwiches should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
  3. The assembled sandwich should last in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days depending on how fresh your ingredients were.
  4. For kids, consider serving a honey-mustard instead of sriracha mayo because it isn't spicy.
