In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, paprika, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade and toss to coat. Allow marinating for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef strips and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through but still tender.
While the beef cooks, split the whole-grain rolls in half and lightly toast them if desired.
Assemble the Prego Roll by placing a handful of arugula on the bottom half of each roll.
Add a layer of cooked beef on top of the arugula.
Top with slices of tomato and thin slices of red onion.
Cover with the top half of the roll. Serve immediately and enjoy!
