Cheesesteak Panini Recipes

CHEESESTEAK PANINI

Steps:

• Prepare and cut vegetables.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10" to 12" skillet to medium heat.
• Add onion and green bell pepper and cook until they begin to soften, then add the mushrooms.
• Season with salt and pepper and allow them to caramelize while continuing to stir.
• Once they are cooked remove from the pan and set aside. Do not clean pan so you can keep the seasoning.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan to medium high heat. Add thinly sliced steak to pan, season with salt & pepper and let sit for about 4 to 5 minutes before stirring so the meat can brown.
• After 4 to 5 minutes begin to stir and cook until fully cooked about 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Once the meat is cooked, drain grease from the pan into a strainer and then return the meat, onions, bell pepper and mushrooms back to pan and stir to mix.
• Heat up panini press.
• Butter the outside of the San Luis Sourdough bread and lay butter side down on panini press.
• Add meat mixture and 2 slices of white American cheese over top the meat.
• Add the 2nd slice of sourdough bread to the top of cheese with butter side facing out and close press gently so the sandwich presses together.
• Cook for a few minutes until the cheese is soft and the bread is a crispy golden brown color.
• Remove from press and enjoy!
