Cut steak into thin, bite-size slices (trying to cut off the fat as well). In a crock pot combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic. Add steak. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Carefully pour liquid into a 2 c measuring cup & skim the fat. Add water to liquid to measure 1 1/2 cups. Pour into a large saucepan. Combine cornstartch and water until smooth; add to pan. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly (approx 3 min). Add meat and heat through. Brush rolls with butter and broil 2-3 min. Fill with meat, pineapple, onions (cheese is good too!). Makes about 8 sandwiches.
