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!

CHEESE STEAK PANINI WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly until caramel colored. Salt to taste. Spoon caramelized onions into a small dish and set aside. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and saute to heat through.
• To assemble spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Divide the onions, meat and cheese between the two sandwiches. Top with remaining bread.

TONY'S CHEESE STEAK PANINI

Steps:

• I used my Cuisinart griddler to make the Panini''s.
• Mix up all the ingredients for the aioli and set aside. Now, you gotta love garlic to enjoy this aioli because when it is pressed it packs a punch of flavor.
• Mix together your softened butter with parmesan cheese. I didn't measure the butter but I was generous with it. Butter the outside of 4 slices.
• Heat up a medium pan and add your thin sliced beef and peppers right to the pan. This will cook up really fast. Once meat is cooked add your grated cheese right on top of the meat in the pan. Let it melt and make sure cheese is distributed well.
• I placed the bread butter side down on grill and then spread the aioli sauce. I took the pan that has the steak in it and used a fork to top the bread with. I made sure I added some peppers too. Then I did the same to the other slice of bread and added the aioli and topped the sandwich. Now, it's ready to grill into a Panini.
• Grill about 5 to 7 minutes. I do usually flip the Panini once while grilling about 1/2 way thru cook time.
• Now you are ready to plate your Panini and slice it to serve.
• Ready to eat...go ahead and take a bite. I know you'll love it. hehe

CHEESE STEAK PANINI

Steps:

• 1. Heat about a tablespoon of grape seed or other oil along with a tablespoon of butter in a medium cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Start sauteeing onions, once they have soften add bell peppers. Salt. Add spices and stir. Cook until brown and nearly caramelized. Remove vegetables into a bowl. Next, brown the meat by placing a few (about 4-5) slices on the skillet and flipping over after a few seconds and salting slightly along the way. Don't crowd or allow the slices of meat to overlap. Keep removing browned meat, adding fresh slices and repeating. Once all the meat is cooked, add one tablespoon of butter to pan and dump meat, onions and peppers back into pan. Add cream cheese and allow to melt. Turn off stove, add shredded cheese and stir. Either toast up a sub and add filling, or place between two slices of sourdough and toast up on a panini press (adding more cheese if desired). ENJOY!!

RIB EYE STEAK PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat a panini maker.
• For the vegetables: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onions, peppers, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
• For the steak: In the same skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the steak and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the steak is cooked through to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes.
• For the panini: Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto the bottom of each roll. Add the arugula and top with the cooked vegetables. Arrange the steak on the vegetables and place a slice of cheese on top. Place the tops on the rolls and cook in a panini maker until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion, season with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Throw the roast beef into the same skillet, breaking it up a little as you go. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire and warm for about a minute or so. Remove from the heat.
• To build: Heat a panini maker (or set a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat).
• Spread half of the mustard onto a slice of bread and top with 2 slices of provolone. Add half of the beef and veggie mix. Top with half of the Homemade Cheese Sauce and another slice of bread. Spread the top side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of butter. Repeat and build the second sandwich.
• Invert the sandwiches butter-side down on the hot panini maker (or grill pan or skillet). Spread another tablespoon of butter on each of the tops.
• Close the panini maker and grill until the bread is crusty and golden and the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. (If using a grill pan or skillet, carefully flip the sandwiches halfway through.) Slice in half and enjoy!
• Place a double boiler over medium heat. Add the cubed cheese and milk and heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, vinegar and salt. Grate the garlic into the mixture using a rasp grater; stir to combine. Cook until the flavors meld, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK

Steps:

• Trim away and discard the long piece of fat running down the side of the steaks. Cut each steak in half and put on a baking tray, then transfer to the freezer and freeze for 40 mins.
• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or casserole dish set over a medium heat. Add the onion and peppers along with a good pinch of salt and fry for 20 mins, or until the onions are golden and sticky. Add the vinegar and cook for a further 5 mins. Season to taste.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the steak as thinly as possible and pile the slices into four portions. Heat a skillet over a high heat until almost smoking. Put one portion of the steak slices in the pan in a pile that's roughly the length of your rolls. Fry for 3 mins over a high heat until some of the steak is cooked through, with pink bits remaining. Pile a quarter of the onion mixture on top, as well as a quarter each of the cheese slices and the mozzarella. Continue to cook undisturbed over a medium heat for 5-10 mins until the meat is brown and crisp around the edge and the cheeses have melted. Split one of the rolls open and carefully scoop the meat and cheese mixture into it. Repeat with the remaining meat, onions, cheese and rolls.
