If you grew up in Ohio or spent time there you may know the Romanburger served at a local sandwich chain. It’s a great lunch or late-night splurge and it’s even touted as a hangover cure by some. I crave this burger so often I came up with my own riff on this Ohio classic.

Directions
Divide the ground beef into 8 equal-size balls. Pat into patties and flatten each into an oval shape. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare a grill for medium heat. Place a large cast-iron pan or plancha on the grill and heat. Add the prosciutto and salami and cook until crisp, 5 minutes or so. Remove and set aside. Add the beef patties to the pan and smash down until they are thin using a spatula or burger press. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and add a slice of provolone to each patty. Close the grill lid and cook for 1 minute to melt the cheese. Remove the patties from the grill.
Split the Italian rolls and brush each with a tablespoon of butter. Toast on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Remove and spread each with a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Toss the iceberg lettuce with the olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
To build a sandwich, layer 2 slices of red onion, 2 slices of tomato, a sprinkle of dried oregano, 2 slices crispy salami, 2 slices crispy prosciutto, 2 burger patties and a little bit of dressed lettuce on a roll. Repeat with remaining rolls and ingredients. Serve with beer.
