Ingredients

• 8 ounces Lean sirloin steak
• 2 Whole grain sandwich rolls
• 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
• 1 Tomato
• 4 ounces Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 bottle Olive oil cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the lean sirloin steak dry with a paper towel, then season it with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Lightly spray the grill pan with olive oil cooking spray, then place the steak in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, thinly slice the steak against the grain.

Step 5

Slice the whole grain sandwich rolls in half. On the bottom half of each roll, layer 2 ounces of low-fat mozzarella cheese, half of the sliced steak, 1/2 cup of baby spinach leaves, and 2-3 slices of tomato.

Step 6

Drizzle each panini with 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, then place the top half of the roll on each sandwich.

Step 7

Spray a panini press or grill pan with olive oil cooking spray and preheat it over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the panini press or pan and lightly press down.

Step 8

Cook the panini for 3-5 minutes or until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted. If using a grill pan, flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 9

Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
