Ingredients

• 8 oz Lean steak (e.g., sirloin or flank)
• 2 tbsp Low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1.5 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices Low-sodium provolone or mozzarella cheese
• 2 rolls Whole-grain sandwich rolls or hoagie rolls
• 1 tsp Unsalted butter, optional (for toasting rolls)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine low-sodium Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the sliced steak and stir to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the marinated steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 0.5 tablespoon olive oil. Add sliced green bell peppers and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, return the cooked steak back to the skillet with the vegetables, and layer the low-sodium cheese on top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Optional: Spread unsalted butter on the inside of the sandwich rolls and lightly toast them in a separate pan or under a broiler.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the steak, vegetables, and melted cheese mixture evenly between the rolls.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium steak and cheese sandwich!
