Labeling this as a 10 minute sandwich makes it seem like it takes less effort than you might expect, but I still enjoyed it.

This recipe can be quite laborious and stressful as it requires all the ingredients to be cooked in a specific order, sometimes even at the same time, and if any one step takes too long the ingredients can end up overcooked.
Additionally, Ramsay didn’t tell us the exact time for each step, making it hard to know when it was “done.” While more experienced cooks might have a better idea of the timing, inexperienced people are advised to avoid multitasking so you can keep a close eye on the food while it cooks.
Ramsay initially stressed the importance of resting the meat (I usually do this for 10 minutes), but I didn’t see him do this in the video, so I had a feeling some steps weren’t shown on camera due to time constraints.
In the end, it took me 50 minutes to make this sandwich instead of 10, but I was still really happy with the final product.
Each ingredient in Ramsay’s steak sandwich adds delicious flavor, and it wasn’t as expensive as I expected to make at home: It cost me just under $50 to get all the ingredients, but I still had enough left over to try some more.
One sandwich was more than enough for two people, and I would definitely make this dish again, although I hope I can get the steak and bread a little better next time.
