Health and fertility benefits of Beef, Broccoli Rabe, and Provolone Panini

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

1 lb. broccoli rabe
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
extra-virgin olive oil
2 clove garlic
1 tsp. anchovy paste
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
24 slice provolone cheese
6 soft hoagie, hero, or torta rolls
1 1/2 lb. leftover beef tenderloin or deli roast beef
1/4 c. Peppadew peppers

Instructions

Preheat a panini press or griddle. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, heat the 1/4 cup of oil. Add the minced garlic, anchovy paste, and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately high heat for 10 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and season with salt. Cover and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 5 minutes.
Layer 2 slices of provolone on the bottom of each roll. Top with the broccoli rabe, roast beef, Peppadews, and the remaining provolone. Close the rolls and brush lightly with oil. Grill the sandwiches until toasted and the cheese is melted, about 7 minutes. Serve hot.
