Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Whole wheat sandwich buns
- 12 oz Thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style, lean)
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Balsamic vinegar
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Reduced-fat Swiss cheese slices
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the yellow onions thinly.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to coat the onions evenly in the oil.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
In the final 2 minutes of cooking the onions, stir in the balsamic vinegar. Remove from heat and set aside.
Split the whole wheat sandwich buns and lightly toast them, if desired.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer 3 ounces of roast beef, one slice of reduced-fat Swiss cheese, some caramelized onions, and a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun.
Place the top bun over the fillings to complete the sandwich.
Serve the sandwiches warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
