Steak Paninis
Take a relatively inexpensive steak like sirloin. Slice thin and on a bias against the grain so that you have lots of thin strips of meat. Place in a bowl or bag with olive oil, minced garlic, diced onion, and cracked black pepper. Toss to thoroughly coat the meat. Allow to marinate in fridge for 2 – 4 hours.
In a hot skillet, brown the meat till medium rare and remove to a platter. About 4 minutes or so. Stir frequently!
On your bread of choice, butter both sides, and pile on the meat mixture. Top with slices of Swiss. Now cover with another buttered piece of bread (butter both sides). If desired, add garlic powder to the top piece of bread.
Put this into the panini maker and grill until the cheese is melted and bread is browned. Plate, cut in half, and between the halves add chips or fries, and a pickle spear.
I make these often on my George Foreman grill. Wonderful!
