Ingredients

• 4 pieces Beef sirloin steaks
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Portuguese rolls or other crusty rolls
• 1 cup Arugula or rocket leaves
• 1 cup Sliced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by tenderizing the beef sirloin steaks to about 1/4 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This will ensure they cook quickly and evenly.

Step 2

Crush the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the tenderized steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each steak is well coated. Let this marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the steaks marinate, prepare the rolls. Cut the Portuguese rolls lengthwise but do not cut all the way through. You want them to remain attached on one side.

Step 5

Prepare the arugula, sliced tomatoes, and red onion by washing and slicing as needed. Set aside for assembly.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steaks. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the Prego rolls by placing a beef steak inside each roll, then top with arugula, sliced tomatoes, and red onion.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the steaks are still juicy and tender.
