Ingredients
- 8 ounces steak (such as sirloin or flank)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces ciabatta rolls or other dairy-free bread
- 4 slices dairy-free mozzarella or provolone slices
- 1 cup arugula (or spinach)
- 1 medium tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let it rest for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3
Cook the steak on the preheated grill pan for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Step 4
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly brush the cut sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each roll.
Step 6
Layer the bottom halves of the rolls with sliced steak, dairy-free cheese, arugula, tomato slices, and red onion. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Step 7
Close each sandwich with the top half of the roll and press down gently.
Step 8
Heat a panini press to medium-high heat. Place the sandwiches in the press and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted. If you don’t have a panini press, cook the sandwiches in a skillet with another heavy skillet on top to press them down.
Step 9
Cut each panini in half and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious dairy-free steak panini!
