10 20 30

Ingredients

  • 1 package (17 ounces) refrigerated fully cooked beef roast au jus
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) sour cream
  • SANDWICHES:
  • 1 medium green pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 8 slices firm Italian or sourdough bread (1/2-inch thick)
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 to 12 slices deli-style pepper Jack cheese

Directions

  • Prepare roast beef according to package directions; drain. Shred beef using 2 forks; set aside. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients; set aside.
  • In a panini grill with lid, cook pepper and onion in oil until tender. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place four slices, buttered side down, on work surface. Top each slice with 1-2 slices of cheese, one-quarter of each shredded beef, pepper and onions, avocado and about 2 tablespoons sauce.
  • Top with remaining bread, butter side up. Cover and cook over medium heat about 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Serve warm. Yield: 4 sandwiches.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

My husband raved about this panini for days.Not owning a panini pan I used a non-stick griddle. It came out great.
