Good Afternoon, Buenas Tardes e Buonasera,

 

The PEPITO sandwich on the Iberian Peninsula, has been prepared with a young loin of beef ( filete of red veal under 1 year of age ) and served on a bed of caramelized onions throughout the nation´s taverns.

 

Furthermore, this version prepared with loin or porc is from Chef Martín Berasateguí, from San Sebastián, the Pearl of The Bay of Biscay, located in the Basque Country. One may sub veal or beef scalloppine or loin.

 

Please also note: another way to prepare this luscious hero sub, is to stuff a whole baguette (hero bread ) with a pepito inside as the Venezuelans do with Fried Potato Sticks.
