Shooter Sandwich

If you know Dirk and I, then you probably know that we love the month of March! Dirk's birthday is on the first so we always get to start it off with a bang. This year Dirk called in sick to work and I spent the day spoiling him. Later, for birthday dinner, Dirk requested a shooter sandwich and yes it is as manly and meaty as it sounds . This is how it goes:

SHOOTER SANDWICH 

Get a loaf of heavy sourdough bread 

Dice an onion and a carton of mushrooms 

Find some thinly sliced rib-eye steaks (we cut one in half)

Scrape out the innards of the loaf, but leave quite a bit of the bottom to soak up juices

Saute the onions and mushrooms in about a pound of butter

Sear the beef in all the juices from the o and m 

Layer one slice of steak 

then two slices of swiss cheese 

then a layer of cooked bacon 

Pile in half of the mushrooms and onions 

sass it up with some bbq sauce 

layer more steak, cheese, bacon, mushrooms and onions, and top off with some more sauce

replace the bread bowl lid 

wrap in wax paper and tin foil then smash it for 5 hours with as many heavy books as you can (at least 70+ lbs) 

Dirk loved it and I have to admit it was pretty darn good.
