Steaks are usually associated with hearty meals served with a side or two.
But apart from being eaten with a fork and a knife, steaks can also shine between two pieces of bread! Provided, of course, that you use the right recipes.
That said, let me share some of the best steak sandwich recipes, covering everything from savory and cheesy to sweet and spicy.
1. Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich
My go-to classic steak and sandwich combo is none other than the Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
This recipe probably needs no introduction due to its popularity.
But just to give you a bit of a refresher, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches perfectly combine the savory and umami-rich flavors of beef and cheese, making every bite cheesy, meaty, and delicious.
You can customize the toppings and cheese according to your preferences to make this recipe even more appealing.

2. Grilled Steak Sandwich
Want a simple sandwich that highlights the delicious and juicy flavors of steak?
Then, if you have 25 minutes to spare, make sure to try making some grilled steak sandwiches.
This recipe is as easy as grilling steak, making garlic aioli, and putting both components in between two buns.
Enjoy the perfect fusion of garlic aioli’s rich, garlicky flavors and the taste of freshly grilled meat.
If possible, toast the rolls before assembly, too. This way, you’ll get a delightful crunch, and the garlic aioli can meld beautifully with the warm, toasted bread.

3. Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich
The perfect excuse to enjoy meat during breakfast is none other than a well-assembled steak and egg breakfast sandwich.
This recipe combines the familiarity of the classic steak and eggs breakfast meal and the breakfast sandwiches you can find at coffee shops.
Hence, you’ll be able to enjoy a sandwich that tastes familiar but still feels unique.
I usually use leftover steak to whip up this sandwich to make it extra convenient.
For the bread, you can use any type you like, but I prefer burger buns or bagels.

4. Bulgogi-Style Grilled Steak Sandwich
If you’re craving something a little different from classic American sandwiches, try making a bulgogi-style steak sandwich.
This recipe takes inspiration from the famous Korean BBQ dish called bulgogi, which is a sweet and savory beef dish often paired with rice.
Over the years, pairing bulgogi with bread and tacos has become a popular fusion dish and a favorite in international cuisine.
Bulgogi steak sandwiches are usually topped with veggies like carrots, green pepper, and sweet onion, making them taste like a summer BBQ feast in every single bite.

5. Open Steak Sandwich With Chips and Salad
Whenever I can’t decide between cooking a hearty steak with sides or simply enjoying a convenient handheld sandwich, I settle my mind’s debate by preparing an open steak sandwich with chips and salad instead.
Unlike the previous entries on this list, this recipe is best served on a plate.
Its sandwich component features a slice of ciabatta topped with sliced steak and mayo.
For the sides, you can prepare crispy potato wedges and a fresh vegetable salad (or your preferred side dishes).
Arrange the open sandwich and its sides on a single plate and serve while the steak and potatoes are still warm.

6. Steak & Potato Barbecued Grilled Cheese
When cooked as a main meal, steaks are often paired with potato side dishes such as fries or mashed potatoes.
Unsurprising, though, right? Because steaks and potatoes are pretty much a match made in heaven.
If you agree, then you better not miss out on trying this cheesy steak & potato sandwich recipe.
It infuses the classic combination of steak and potatoes into the American favorite grilled cheese sandwich.
You can use grilled sliced potatoes or fried fries for an added texture.
I love preparing this sandwich during get-togethers or game days. It pairs perfectly with soda, beer, and wine alike!

It combines cooked steak, charred vegetables, sliced jalapeños, and BBQ or mayo sauce in your buns of choice.
The result?
A spicy and flavorful meal with the perfect amount of heat to entice your taste buds.
If you want the spice level to go up a notch, you can always add more jalapeños or top the sandwich off with extra hot sauce!
