Ingredients

2 slices thick bread, such as Italian or rustic bread
½ tablespoon butter, for grilling
⅛ cup finely diced onion and pepper mix, thawed
2 slices American cheese
½ cup leftover grilled steak or 2 slices deli-cut roast beef

Instructions

Make the sandwich:

Butter one side of each bread slice and set aside.
Melt the butter on a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and pepper mix, sauté for 3 to 4 minutes or until onions have softened. Add the leftover steak or roast beef onto the griddle or skillet and cook until warmed through. Remove from heat.
Onto the griddle or skillet, place the bread slices butter side down and grill, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once bread is ready, spread the onion and beef mixture on the griddle, and top it with 2 cheese slices.
Once the cheese is melted, transfer onto a toasted bread slice and assemble the sandwich. Serve immediately or pack it for lunch.

Pack it for lunch:

To pack inside a lunchbox, wait for the sandwich to cool down to room temperature.
Once cool, slice it in half and pack it inside the lunchbox along with fruit, veggies, or your favorite sides.
