Cuban Sandwich Recipe Twist: Easy-To-Make Red Robin '305 Burger'

The 305 Burger is a unique cross between a classic American burger and the legendary flavors of a Cuban sandwich

The delicious burger was created by the FIU student, Given Suman and was selected by Red Robin as its Golden Robin Award-winner and recipient of a $10,000 scholarship! The student will showcase his award-winning burger and brew alongside Red Robin during the Burger Bash presented by Schweid & Sons hosted by Rachael Ray, on Friday, Feb. 24.

Red Robin's Golden Robin Award competition is part of an annual partnership between Red Robin, the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival and FIU's Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.

For those that aren’t able to make the trip to SOBEWFF’S Heineken Light Burger Bash, to try it for themselves, we got you covered! Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews shared the recipe with Latin Times and now we want to do the same with our readers.

  • 1 Sesame seed bun

PREPARATION:

• Mango-mustard
  • Chop the mango into small or medium-sized chunks. Place mango in a food processor with sugar and lemon juice and puree until smooth, but with small chunks remaining.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mango puree, yellow mustard, vinegar, and honey. Mix well.
  • Conservatively add to the mixture allspice and garlic powder to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix.

• Patty​
  • Combine in a large bowl the ground beef, bread crumbs, sour cream, and egg. Mix together.
  • Liberally add parsley, rosemary, and oregano to the mixture to taste. Mix together.
  • Mold 6 oz beef into a patty, roughly the shape of the bun. Sprinkle salt and pepper to both sides of the patty.
  • In vegetable oil or melted butter in a heated frying pan, cook the burger patty until brown throughout, or as preferred.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, stack on the cooked burger patty the following, from bottom to top: 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of ham, folded to fit the patty, dill pickle chips to cover the burger, and then the remaining slice of Swiss cheese. Place in the oven until cheese is observably melted; 3-4 minutes.
  • Toast both halves of the split bun until golden brown then spread mayonnaise, and mango-mustard to desired taste.
  • Place burger patty with stacked toppings between the two buns.
  • In a frying pan, melt butter. Lightly apply to outside of the burger buns.
  • Place the finished burger onto the frying pan and firmly press down.
  • Flip the burger and press again.

Serve immediately with a side of french fries or tostones.
