The Perfect Steak Sandwich Recipe

How I make the perfect Steak Sandwich 🥪 (and why it deserves a Spot in my Sandwich Series)

I’ll admit it: I’ve always had a soft spot for sandwiches. They’re easy, satisfying, and the perfect excuse to get creative in the kitchen without needing hours.

So when I decided to launch my Sandwich Series, the very first one had to be a steak sandwich. Because sometimes, you just crave something more than a simple slice of bread with toppings. You want depth. Texture. Juiciness. And maybe even a bit of drama.

Last weekend, I made this one on a whim. The sun was out, I had a fresh steak in the fridge, and I just felt like building something delicious. It ended up being the kind of lunch that makes you pause and say, “yep, this one’s going on the blog.”

You'll find the video that I did on the Steak Sandwich here. 

But here’s the thing. I keep coming back to this sandwich.

It’s one of those recipes that feels fancy, even though it’s honestly so simple. No fifteen-step instructions. Just a good pan, a decent steak, and a few thoughtful layers.

What I really love is how everything works together. The crunch of the bread, the juiciness of the steak, something crisp and green, and a sauce that brings it all to life.

And depending on the day, I’ll dress it up or down. It’s perfect for a slow solo lunch, but also feels right at home on a cutting board at a sunny picnic. Sometimes I even grill the steak ahead of time and warm up the slices later, it still tastes amazing.

I love serving this Sandich on my Bamboo Trio board (the small size is perfect for sandwiches). It turns your lunch into a little food moment. Check out the Bamboo Trio Board here. 

Here’s what I use

• 1 ciabatta or crusty baguette
• 1 good-quality steak (I go for entrecôte, medium-rare)
• A handful of arugula or baby spinach
• Crispy onions or homemade fries for extra crunch
• A sauce that makes you happy – think mustard-mayo, chimichurri or truffle aioli
• Olive oil, salt & pepper

Here’s how I make it

1. Start with the steak – I season mine generously and sear it in a hot pan. Let it rest before slicing.
2. Toast the bread – optional, but that crunch is everything.
3. Assemble – Sauce both sides, greens on the bottom, steak slices, then the crispy topping.

Why I love sharing these recipes

I’m not a professional chef, just someone who loves honest, tasty food. Everything I share here comes straight from my own kitchen.

This steak sandwich? It’s become a new go-to. Simple enough to throw together, but special enough to feel like a treat.
