With this simple Ribeye Steak Sandwich, you can elevate your lunch. Juicy ribeye steak, spicy arugula, and a creamy caper sauce are piled high on crusty ciabatta rolls.
The sandwich is probably the most popular lunch option because it contains protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates. However, if you’re anything like me, you’ve developed a habit of making the same old, same old deli meat sandwiches. While they are simple to make and tasty enough, switching that deli meat for perfectly grilled ribeye elevates your sandwich to a whole new level.
This Ribeye Steak Sandwich has all the flavor and texture you want in a good sandwich: juicy steak, peppery arugula, and a delicious caper sauce, not to mention the crusty toasted ciabatta roll. Let’s make it!

Instruction:
Preheat the grill.
For the aioli: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the sandwich: Season both sides of the ribeye steak and set aside.
Put the oil, vegetables, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large storage bag, close the bag and shake to get the vegetables evenly coated with oil and spices.
Put some of the vegetables on the grill and close the lid. Cook until vegetables are soft. Take them off the grill and put them in a bowl. Set the bowl aside. Repeat as necessary until all the vegetables are cooked.
Take the steaks and put two at a time on the grill. Cook until the desired internal temperature is achieved. Set them on a cutting board and slice thinly. Repeat with the other two steaks.
Assemble the sandwiches: Divide the meat and vegetables between the hoagie buns and then place a slice of each cheese over the top of the vegetables and meat. You can put the sandwiches under a broiler or in a toaster oven to brown the cheese if desired. Tomato and spinach can be exchanged for mushrooms and peppers. Parmesan flakes can be exchanged for the Gouda and provolone.
Add the aioli and serve the sandwiches hot.

FAQ
How thick should a ribeye be for a sandwich?
While 1 inch is a good starting point, the best steaks, especially when it comes to premium cuts like ribeyes and strips, are around 1.5 inches in thickness. Thinner steaks require less heat to travel to the center, making thin steaks easier to overcook.
How do you make a tender steak sandwich?
The ideal beef cut for steak sandwiches is a tender cut of beef or beef roast, leftovers from a prime rib are ideal, but my personal favorite is a good sirloin steak cooked especially for a steak sandwich!
How do you grill a steak sandwich?
Add 1 cup of liquid acidic ingredients, such as all soy sauce or a mixture of 1/2 cup each of low-sodium soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, to a small mixing bowl for every pound of beef. These ingredients work to soften the bonds of the connective tissue and tenderize the meat.
