Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean sirloin steak
- 60 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 rolls Whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 spritz Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
Place the sirloin steak on a cutting board and trim any visible fat. Slice the steak into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.
Sprinkle the steak strips with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the seasoning.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a spritz of olive oil spray. Once the pan is hot, add the steak strips in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the whole wheat sandwich rolls open and place the cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers inside each roll.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the filling in each sandwich. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bread for additional flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low-fat steak and cheese sandwich!
