How to Make Italian Subs on the Grill

- Step 2 – Spread the avocado oil in a single layer on the grill.

Step 3 – Place the yellow pepper rings and onions on the grill and sauté until soft (approximately 5 minutes). Push them to one side of the grill.

Step 4 – Place the meat on the grill in a single layer to brown them slightly and heat them through. Push them to the side of the grill.

Step 5 – Open up each of the buns and place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes to slightly toast. Remove from the grill.

Step 6 – Divide up the meats, peppers and onions into 4 servings and stack on top of each other on the grill.

Step 7 – Top each one with 2 slices of cheese. Heat for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Expert Tips
- Prepare Blackstone – Before placing the vegetables and meats on the griddle, we recommend preheating and adding the oil. This allows the meats and vegetables to cook with the best texture and flavor.
- Chopping Vegetables – We recommend using a vegetable chopper so the veggies are chopped about the same size. This helps to cook them evenly.
- Other Cooking Methods – We love making this Italian Sub on the griddle because of the flavor. But if you do not have a griddle to cook outside, you can place the meats and veggies on a baking sheet and bake in the oven. Feel free to also heat on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet.

What to Serve with Grilled Italian Subs?
Grilled Italian Subs make the best weeknight meal. We like to serve with simple sides since this sandwich is filling and hearty. These subs pair perfectly with Grilled French Fries, Blackstone Sweet Potato Fries, Grilled Zucchini or Grilled Vegetables in Foil.
This sandwich is even delicious served with your favorite toppings including red onions, arugula, red peppers, and your favorite melty cheese.
Frequently Asked Questions
Italian Subs are made with rich meats which include slice pepperoni, genoa salami, and slice ham. We recommend getting the meats thinly sliced at the deli so the meat is not chewy.
When making any type of sandwiches the bread is just as important as the sandwich filling. You want the bread to have the right ratio to the meats. We like using regular hoagie rolls or a sourdough bread from our local bakery to make these Italian Sandwiches.
These sandwiches are best served fresh. If you do have any leftovers, store the meats separately in the fridge and do not assemble the sandwiches until ready to enjoy!
When you are ready to enjoy your leftovers again from the refrigerator, reheat the deli meat in a skillet over medium heat. Then place your toppings on the hoagie rolls and serve with your favorite side dishes.
