Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams lean sirloin steak
- 4 pieces whole-grain sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by preparing the sirloin steak. Trim any visible fat to keep it lean and heart-healthy.
Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steak on the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the steak is resting, prepare the sandwich filling. Slice the tomato thinly and the red onion into fine rings.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in lemon juice to make a simple avocado spread.
Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
Toast the whole-grain sandwich rolls lightly using a toaster or oven to give them a crunchy texture.
To assemble each sandwich, spread a generous layer of avocado on the bottom half of the roll.
Layer fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, and red onion rings on top of the avocado spread.
Place a quarter of the steak slices on top of the vegetables.
Finish assembling the sandwich by placing the top half of the roll over the steak.
Serve immediately while the sandwich is warm and the steak is juicy.
