Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds thin-sliced sirloin steak
- 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed French onion soup
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 Kaiser rolls, split
Instructions
In a large slow cooker, combine the steak, French onion soup, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer the steak to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
When the steak is finished cooking, preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the Kaiser rolls on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Place the steak on the rolls, top with the sauce, and serve.

Serving Suggestions
Serve these steak sandwiches with a side salad for a complete meal. Add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for extra flavor. You can also top the sandwiches with sliced cheese, such as mozzarella or provolone, for an extra cheesy kick. If you like, add some sautéed mushrooms or onions to the steak before serving.
Cooking Tips
For best results, use thin-sliced sirloin steak. If you can’t find thin-sliced steak, you can use regular sirloin steak and slice it into thin strips. If the steak strips are too thick, the sandwiches will be difficult to eat. If you don’t have time to brown the steak, you can skip this step but the steak won’t be as flavorful.
Storage
Leftover steak sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat. You can also freeze the sandwiches for up to 3 months.
Variations
This recipe can be adapted to suit your tastes. Try adding some barbecue sauce or teriyaki sauce to the slow cooker for an extra flavor kick. You can also use other types of steak, such as flank steak or skirt steak. For a vegetarian version, you can use sliced mushrooms or eggplant in place of the steak.
Conclusion
These slow cooker steak sandwiches are a great way to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort. The steak is slow cooked in a savory sauce until it’s tender and flavorful. Serve them on toasted Kaiser rolls for a hearty and satisfying meal. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of prep time, you can enjoy these steak sandwiches any night of the week.
