Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch slices. Halve rolls. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle half the Italian Seasoning (use all for 4 ppl) all over steaks, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer veggies to a plate.
Add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then steaks to the same pan. Sear until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Remove the pan from heat, then transfer steaks to a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil in the middle of the oven until cooked to desired doneness, 4-7 min.**
Meanwhile, whisk together half the balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl.
Thinly slice steaks. Remove foil from the baking sheet (from step 3). Arrange rolls on the unlined sheet, cut-side up. Spread mayo over rolls. Stack steak on bottom rolls, then drizzle with remaining balsamic glaze. Arrange half the veggies on top, then sprinkle cheese over veggies. Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese melts, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
Meanwhile, add spinach and remaining veggies to the bowl with dressing. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. When cheese is melted, close sandwiches with top rolls. Divide sandwiches and spinach salad between plates.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The steak and balsamic glaze are the standout elements, though several reviewers found the overall sandwich a little bland and felt it needed more seasoning or a bolder sauce.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a straightforward meal to put together; some noted it took longer than the estimated time, especially when managing multiple steps at once.
- Suggestions: Add a horseradish mayo, garlic aioli, or a splash of au jus to keep the sandwich moist and add flavour; sautéing onions alongside the peppers and using the full Italian seasoning on the vegetables also made a noticeable difference. Consider toasting the buns with a little butter or oil before assembling for better texture and flavour.
- Leftovers: The sandwich held up well the next day, with some reviewers noting it tasted even better reheated for lunch.
- Salad: The spinach salad was seen as a simple but fitting side; adding extra vegetables, a sharper vinegar, or fresh Parmesan helped round it out for those who wanted more from it.
