How to Make Italian Subs on the Grill

• Step 1 – Preheat a Blackstone grill or griddle over medium high heat.  
• 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.  

Step 8 – Remove from the grill and place on the toasted buns. Top with the shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Drizzle the red wine vinegar on top and top with the oregano, salt and pepper. Serve warm and enjoy!  

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.
