Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral oil, divided

  • 1 cup sliced yellow onion

  • 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms

  • ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt

  • ¼ cup light garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese (such as Boursin)

  • 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard

  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

  • 2 (12-inch) whole-grain hoagie or Italian rolls

  • 2 cups baby arugula

Directions

  1. Season steak all over with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut the steak into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in a single layer in a large cast-iron skillet.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak, in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding; cook, undisturbed, until charred and well browned on bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 125° to 130°F for medium, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Do not wipe the pan.

  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Whisk yogurt, cheese, mustard and horseradish together in a medium bowl until combined. Split rolls in half horizontally and tear out some of the inner bread to create a 1/2-inch-deep cavity inside each roll. Spread the cheese mixture evenly on the cut sides of each roll.

  5. Place 1 cup arugula on the bottom of each roll; top each with 2/3 cup vegetable mixture, about 7 ounces sliced steak and the roll tops. Cut each roll in half. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
