Ingredients

16 - ounce Italian loaf of bread
1/2 lb medium sliced deli provolone cheese
1/2 lb deli boiled ham thinly sliced
1/4 lb deli Sopprasetta thinly sliced
1/4 lb deli Genoa salami thinly sliced
6 deli pepperoni thinly sliced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup pepperoncini sliced
1/4 medium red onion thinly sliced
1 head iceberg lettuce shredded
2 oz freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 beef steak tomatoes sliced
drizzle of olive oil
kosher salt to taste
fresh cracked pepper to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

350°F
Cut the bread in half and place it on a sheet tray cut side up. Remove most of the inside of the bread leaving about ½ inch of the bread. Add half of the provolone to each side. Place in the oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
Layer the ham over one half of the sub, and layer the soppressata on the other side.
Top the ham with the salami. Top the soppressata with the pepperoni.
Place back in the oven to heat the meats through and toast the bread, for 5 minutes.
While the sub is baking, make the grinder salad. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, garlic, pepper, oregano, chili flakes, and salt until combined.
Add the pepperoncini and red onion, and stir around in the dressing until coated.
Add the lettuce, and using tongs toss it in the dressing to coat, set aside.
Sprinkle the sub with ¼ of the parmesan cheese. Add tomato slices. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
Add some of the grinder salad. Top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
Add the top half of the sandwich over the bottom half. I like to press it down gently.
Cut into wedges and serve with more of the grinder salad on the side with chips for dipping!
