Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole grain sandwich rolls
- 2 slices Reduced-fat provolone cheese
- 1 medium Bell peppers (any color)
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 cup Baby spinach
Directions
Step 1
Slice the lean flank steak into thin strips, trimming off any visible fat to keep the dish heart-healthy.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the steak strips and toss to coat evenly. Let the steak marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the steak marinates, thinly slice the bell pepper and onion.
Step 4
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion slices. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 5
Using the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated steak strips. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat.
Step 6
Preheat the oven broiler. Slice the whole grain sandwich rolls lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 7
Layer the bottom half of each toasted roll with half the cooked steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and a slice of reduced-fat provolone cheese. Place the open-faced sandwiches back under the broiler for 1 minute, just until the cheese melts.
Step 8
Top each sandwich with fresh baby spinach leaves and the top half of the roll. Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy steak and cheese sandwich!
