Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef sirloin steaks
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Portuguese rolls or other crusty rolls
- 1 cup Arugula or rocket leaves
- 1 cup Sliced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
Begin by tenderizing the beef sirloin steaks to about 1/4 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This will ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
Crush the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a marinade.
Place the tenderized steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each steak is well coated. Let this marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
While the steaks marinate, prepare the rolls. Cut the Portuguese rolls lengthwise but do not cut all the way through. You want them to remain attached on one side.
Prepare the arugula, sliced tomatoes, and red onion by washing and slicing as needed. Set aside for assembly.
Heat a grill pan or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steaks. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the Prego rolls by placing a beef steak inside each roll, then top with arugula, sliced tomatoes, and red onion.
Serve immediately while the steaks are still juicy and tender.
