Ingredients

• 300 grams lean sirloin steak
• 1 large whole grain or multigrain baguette
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 50 grams arugula
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rubbing the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside to let it marinate for 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the steak is marinating, slice the onion and red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 3

Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers.

Step 4

Cook for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Add balsamic vinegar, stir to coat, and then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, longer if desired.

Step 6

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

While the steak rests, slice the baguette lengthwise and lightly toast it in a toaster or grill pan until crisp.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise with Dijon mustard.

Step 9

Spread the mayonnaise mixture onto both halves of the toasted baguette.

Step 10

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.

Step 11

To assemble, layer the bottom half of the baguette with arugula, followed by the cooked onions and peppers, and then the steak slices.

Step 12

Top with the other half of the baguette, slice into individual sandwiches, and serve immediately.
