This Roast Beef Panini recipe has become one of our favorite sandwiches to make for lunch or dinner.

I’ve always thought the word “sandwich” is such a blasé kind of thing. Not appetizing for me in the least bit. But change “sandwich” to “panini” and it’s like magic happens.

This Roast Beef Panini is a great example of that kind of magic. A simple roast beef sandwich turns into a drool-worthy meal right before your eyes, when brushed with oil and pressed with a panini grill, or stove top grill pan. So simple, for such satisfying sandwich panini. Change up the cheese if you’d like to your preference. Or  maybe add some roasted mushrooms! Once you make it a time or two you’ll see how you can customize this panini to your liking.
