A steak sandwich is a tasty treat that’s easy to make at home. You can have a restaurant-quality meal in just over an hour. The key to a great steak sandwich is using quality meat, cooking it to your liking, and adding tasty toppings.

Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need for your steak sandwich:

  • 600-700g grilling beef steak
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 60g rocket or arugula
  • American mustard
  • Turkish bread (60cm long) or 4 rolls

For the garlic aioli:

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large garlic clove

For the caramelized onions:

  • 3 large onions
  • 40g butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your steak with salt and pepper.

Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust time based on thickness and preferred doneness.

Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

While the steak rests, toast your bread or rolls.

Spread garlic aioli on one side of the bread. Add a layer of caramelized onions.

Place sliced steak on top of the onions. Add tomato slices and arugula.

Spread mustard on the other piece of bread and place it on top to complete your sandwich.

Cut the sandwich in half if desired. Serve right away while the steak is still warm.

Enjoy your delicious homemade steak sandwich!

Possible Substitutes List & Recipe Variations

You can swap out ingredients to make this steak sandwich your own. Try using ciabatta or sourdough instead of Turkish bread.

For the steak, ribeye or sirloin work great. If you’re not a beef fan, chicken or pork can be tasty alternatives.

No time for caramelized onions? Use raw red onion slices or sautéed mushrooms instead.

Switch up the greens with spinach or mixed salad leaves if you don’t have arugula.

For a dairy-free option, replace the garlic aioli with mustard or avocado spread.

Want extra flavor? Add cheese like provolone or blue cheese. Bacon or avocado slices can make it even more indulgent.

For a healthier twist, use whole grain bread and lean cuts of meat. You can also grill the steak instead of pan-frying.

Spice it up with horseradish sauce or chipotle mayo instead of plain aioli. Pickles or pepperoncini can add a tangy kick too.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Freeze your steak for 10 minutes before slicing. This makes it easier to cut thin, even pieces.

Pat the steak dry with paper towels before cooking. This helps create a better crust.

Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This keeps the juices inside.

Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Toast your bread lightly to prevent it from getting soggy.

Spread a thin layer of butter on the bread before adding other toppings. This adds flavor and helps prevent sogginess.

Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat steak gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking.

You can make the caramelized onions ahead of time. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

For a quick version, use sliced deli roast beef instead of cooking steak.

Try different spreads like horseradish sauce or blue cheese dressing for variety.
