Ingredients

• 200 grams Lean sirloin steak
• 60 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 2 rolls Whole wheat sandwich rolls
• 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 spritz Olive oil spray
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the sirloin steak on a cutting board and trim any visible fat. Slice the steak into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.

Step 2

Sprinkle the steak strips with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat the meat with the seasoning.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a spritz of olive oil spray. Once the pan is hot, add the steak strips in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cut the whole wheat sandwich rolls open and place the cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers inside each roll.

Step 6

Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the filling in each sandwich. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bread for additional flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low-fat steak and cheese sandwich!
