I tried making Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute steak-sandwich recipe.
The sandwich took much longer to make than I expected, but it tasted delicious.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay might be almost as well known for his big personality as he is for his cooking talents, which have won him 17 Michelin stars and helped him launch restaurants around the world.

The British restaurateur, who is estimated to have a net worth of about $220 million, is known for his signature beef Wellington — so he clearly knows how to cook a steak. That's why I jumped at the chance to try a slightly less ambitious recipe that features bavette steak as its centerpiece.

Ramsay's 10-minute steak sandwich, which is part of the "MasterChef" star's "Ramsay in 10" series, features grilled bread, portobello mushrooms and onions, and a tangy mustard-and-Worcestershire-based sauce.

Unfortunately, the directions for his 10-minute steak sandwich aren't posted on his website, so I carefully scanned the YouTube video of the recipe to make sure I understood all the steps and ingredients. Here's how it went.

To start, I gathered my ingredients, which included two types of lettuce and many different sauces.

I cut the Ciabatta bread in half and prepped it according to Ramsay’s instructions.

As the bread was toasting, I seasoned the steak with salt and pepper.

While I was prepping the steak, the bread began to burn.

Once the bread was done, I added the steak to one of the skillets.

I then combined portobello mushrooms and onions in the other skillet.

Next, I created the glaze.

When the steak looked done, I added Guinness to both the steak and the veggies.

Next, I finally started assembling the sandwich.

The sandwich was delicious, but getting all the different layers in each bite was hard.

Labeling this as a 10-minute sandwich makes it seem deceptively low-effort, but I still enjoyed it.

In total, I spent a little under $50 to make the sandwich. Lara Walsh
