Ingredients

  • 2
    cups
    onions, sliced
  • ½
    cup
    Guinness (beer)
  • 1
    tablespoon
    Worcestershire sauce
  • 1
    teaspoon
    yellow, spicy brown, or Dijon mustard
  • 2
    teaspoons
    reduced-fat butter
  • 4
    slices
    rye bread
  • 2
    slices
    reduced-fat Swiss or Jarlsberg cheese, each cut in half
  • 4
    ounces
    lean roast beef, sliced

Instructions

  • Using a microwave-safe plate or bowl, add the sliced onions and microwave until tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Add the cooked onions, ½ cup Guinness, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard.
  • Spread the outside of each slice of bread with ½ teaspoon reduced-fat butter. On the inside of one slice, layer half the roast beef (about 2 ounces), half the cooked onions, and half the cheese. Repeat for the second sandwich and top with the remaining bread, buttered side up.
  • To cook in a panini maker or electric grill: preheat the appliance, place both sandwiches inside, and grill about 4 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
  • To cook in a pan: coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and cook the sandwiches 2–4 minutes per side over medium heat until golden and the cheese has melted.
