Ingredients

• DIRECTIONS:
• 1 sweet yellow onion, sliced into 1/4″ rings
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• French bread, thick slices
• Mayonnaise or roasted garlic aioli (here’s an easy recipe on Art & Aioli – thanks, Nicole!)
• Roast beef, thinly sliced
• Gruyère cheese, grated
• Au jus (see recipe on For the Love of Cooking)

Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season onions with salt and pepper and sauté in the olive oil for 15-20 minutes until caramelized.
Preheat panini grill to medium-high heat (375°F).
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or roasted garlic aioli on a slice of bread. Top with roast beef, onions and cheese. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread. Grill 7-8 minutes until cheese is melted and grill marks appear. Serve immediately with au jus and enjoy!
