Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Whole grain baguette
- 300 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt to make a marinade.
Rub the herb marinade evenly over the lean beef sirloin.
Place the beef on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the beef is roasting, cut the baguette into 4 equal sections and then slice each section lengthwise to create sandwich slices.
Toast the baguette slices lightly in the oven for about 5 minutes or until crispy.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly. Mash the avocado in a bowl and mix with the Greek yogurt and lemon juice to create a creamy spread.
Once the beef is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the avocado and yogurt mixture on one half of each baguette section.
Layer the fresh spinach, sliced tomato, and red onion on top of the spread. Add thin slices of roasted beef.
Top with the other half of the baguette. Repeat the process for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy classic baguette sandwich!
