Ingredients
- 200 grams Plant-based steak strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 1 cup Baby spinach or arugula
- 2 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 slices Ciabatta rolls or sourdough bread
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based steak strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the yellow onion. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onion. Cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Step 3
Add the balsamic vinegar to the caramelized onions and stir for another 1-2 minutes until fully absorbed. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a creamy spread.
Step 5
Assemble the panini by spreading the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of each bread slice or ciabatta roll. Layer with a handful of baby spinach or arugula, vegan cheese slices, caramelized onions, and cooked plant-based steak strips. Top with the other bread slice.
Step 6
Heat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill pan, place the sandwich on the pan and press down with a heavy object like a weighted skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Step 7
Slice the panini in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
