My family loves making paninis – we’ll try anything in a panini to see if we like it! But, one of our favourites is to take a leftover meat from the previous night’s dinner, add some cheese and grill it. The result is a wonderfully warm, toasted cheesy sandwich filled with deliciously filling and nutritious ingredients. This creation is by far one of my top 3 favourites!
I created this easy grilled steak panini as a great way to use leftover steak. We love grilling steak but reheating leftovers never tastes the same. Instead, we found this to be the perfect solution.
Easy Grilled Steak Panini
Ingredients:
Butter
Two slices of bread for each sandwich
Thinly sliced steak (3 pieces for each sandwich)
Sliced cheese (pick your fav!)
Ranch or Caesar Salad Dressing
Directions:
Turn on indoor grill/panini maker. Butter the outside of each slice of bread. Once Panini Maker is hot place first slice of bread butter side down. Spread a thin layer of salad dressing, place a slice of cheese, 3 slices of steak, another slice of cheese and your top piece of bread. Close panini maker and grill for 2 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
Slice in half, serve with salad, pickles and/or apple slices.
Yum! Gotta love a steak sandwich! And even better that you used leftovers! Well done. We have the same press and use it ALL the time.
It is a fabulous press – we use it for everything!
I don’t have a panini press but I imagine you could do this in a skillet also.
Wow. This seems simple enough even *I* could do it. It looks delicious. I think I would use more than one type of cheese…maybe havarti and cheddar!

Is this heaven?
It might just be!
I love pannini and steak. I made it your way and it tasted even better
That’s wonderful! Great to hear!
This is so easy and yummy-sounding – now I just need a panini press!
I have already tried making steak paninis, however, the result was not really good. Will definitely try your recipe. It looks simple and delicious!

I am very excited about finding your site! You have some delicious looking recipes on here. I am not very good in the kitchen so any inspiration I can get I will take =) I am getting a panini press for my boyfriend for Christmas and this looks like it will be the first food to get grilled!
