Ingredients
🥩 1 lb shaved beef
🍄 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
🧅 1 large onion, thinly sliced
🌶️ 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
🧀 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧂 1 teaspoon salt, divided
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🌶️ 1/4 teaspoon paprika
🌶️ 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🥖 4 panini breads or rolls
Instructions
1- Prepare the Skillet:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
2- Cook the Steak:
- Add the shaved beef to the hot skillet, separating it as much as possible with a spatula.
- Season the beef with garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Cook the steak for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is browned and cooked through.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the onions and mushrooms. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
- Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes until all vegetables are caramelized and tender.
4- Combine and Finish:
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mixture. Allow the cheese to melt by covering the skillet and turning off the heat.
5- Assemble the Sandwich:
- While the cheese melts, lightly grill the panini breads or rolls to your liking.
- Divide the steak and cheese mixture among the prepared bread slices.
6- Serve and Enjoy:
