Roast Beef Panini With Sun-dried Tomato Mayo Pickled Peppers And Onions Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tsp. oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, minced
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 tsp. prepared horseradish
• 1 tsp. ketchup
• Pinch of cayenne
• 1/3 cup red onion, slivered
• 1/3 cup pickled sweet cherry peppers, sliced (here I used peperoncini)
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 4 slices of white or wheat sourdough bread 1/2“ thick
• Butter
• 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded (I just sliced it thin, so it would melt easily)
• 4 oz. deli roast beef, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Combine mayonnaise, tomatoes, garlic, horseradish, ketchup, and cayenne in a small bowl.
2. Toss onion, peppers, and pepper flakes together in another bowl. Drizzle with some of the pickling juice from the peppers; let stand for at least 5 minutes.
3. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread; spread mayonnaise on the other side. Sprinkle cheese on two of the slices, arrange beef on the cheese, then top with peppers/onions.
4. Place the other slices of bread on the peppers, buttered side up.
5. Toast sandwiches on both sides using a heavy skillet on top of sandwich as a weight.
6. Cook over medium heat. When first side is golden brown, flip and reweight to finish.
