Subway's latest menu update includes the brand new 'Baja Steak & Jack' sub and two additional sauces -- 'Baja Chipotle' and 'Peppercorn Ranch.' The new additions come as part of the brand's 'Eat Fresh Refresh' campaign.
Headlining the menu update is the 'Baja Steak & Jack' sub, which delivers customers a classic steak sandwich with added chipotle flavoring. The new sandwich is made using Subways' "refreshed" steak recipe and is paired with spicy, Pepper Jack Cheese, onions, and green peppers.
As for the sauces, Subway customers will now be able to try out two new creamy options. Smoky and spicy, the 'Baja Chiptole' is flavored with chipotle, guajillo peppers, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano garlic, onion, and lime. On the zestier side of things, the 'Peppercorn Ranch' sauce draws from buttermilk, black pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs.
