Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Lean steak (e.g., sirloin or flank)
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Low-sodium provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 rolls Whole-grain sandwich rolls or hoagie rolls
- 1 tsp Unsalted butter, optional (for toasting rolls)
Instructions
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine low-sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the sliced steak and stir to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the marinated steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon olive oil. Add sliced green bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low, return the cooked steak back to the skillet with the vegetables, and layer the low-sodium cheese on top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.
Optional: Spread unsalted butter on the inside of the sandwich rolls and lightly toast them in a separate pan or under a broiler.
Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the steak, vegetables, and melted cheese mixture evenly between the rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium steak and cheese sandwich!
