Directions
- In a bowl, combine mayo, red wine vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic until smooth and well-mixed.
- Fold in sliced pepperoncini, freshly grated Parmesan, red onion, and lettuce into the mayo mixture, tossing gently with tongs until everything is evenly coated. Set this delightful mix aside.
- Set your oven to 425°F. While it warms, slice the loaf of crusty Italian bread in half. Layer muenster and provolone cheese on both sides, toasting until bubbly and golden—this should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Layer the meats on top of the melted cheese, arranging them fluffy and ruffled, not flat. Toast again for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is warm and the bread is beautifully crisp. Sprinkle some fresh Parmesan on top before removing from the oven.
- Top the meats with slices of juicy beefsteak tomato, drizzling olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, creating a flavorful base.
- Finally, pile that vibrant lettuce mixture atop the tomatoes, add more grated Parmesan for a touch of decadence, and place the top piece of bread on. Slice and serve! Enjoy each bite of your scrumptious Italian Grinder Sandwich.
