Add vinegar and continue to cook 4 to 5 minutes until reduced and almost dry. Remove from heat and cool. Place in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Split each roll lengthwise and spread with 2 teaspoons mustard. Fill each roll with 3 ounces roast beef, 1/4 cup Glazed Onions and 1/4 cup cheese. Cover and refrigerate until ready to heat and serve.
To Serve: Place filled sandwich in a Panini maker 4 to 5 minutes or heat in 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through and cheese melts. Serve each sandwich with 1/4 cup onion jus.
