Method

Line up the ingredients and brace yourself for something very special indeed.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/2.jpg)
Hollow out the hard-crusted Italian bread.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/3.jpg)
Rare cook the steaks [they will continue to cook whilst in the sandwich].
Fry the bacon, onions and mushrooms [as eloquently pictured above].
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/4.jpg)
Place one of the cooked steaks in the hollowed out bread.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/5.jpg)
Apply condiments of your choosing: The anonymous 'chef' used Worchester Sauce, Dijon Mustard and horseradish.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/6.jpg)
Layer the cooked bacon on top of the steak and sauces.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/7.jpg)
Place a layer of Swiss cheese over the bacon.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/8.jpg)
Stuff in as much of the mushroom and onion mixture as you can [sic]
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/9.jpg)
Place the other steak along with the juices from the pan on top of the now layered first steak.

Add more sauce.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/11.jpg)
Top off with another layer of Swiss cheese.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/12.jpg)
Place the top half of the hard-crusted Italian bread back on.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/13.jpg)
Wrap in butcher's paper.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/14.jpg)
Wrap in foil
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/15.jpg)
Place a heavy cutting board on top of the sandwich to squish it down.
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/16.jpg)
Now weigh it down and wait. [the anonymous chef suggests the following: '140lbs of weight and let it sit for 4 hours'].
(http://www.cellarviewines.com/RichTextAssets/17.jpg)
Remove the weight.

Slice in half and enjoy the 'Ultimate Sandwich'.
Who's game?? :o
Now thats some sandwich'
That's a great looking but pretty expensive sandwich since I'd have to buy double the fillings 'cause I know about half would disappear before getting into the bread.
That look crazy good. Cant believe that sucker didnt explode on ya with that much weight on it. :o
Oh my! I knew it had to be good just reading the name of it! Sounds insanely delicious!
Yes very nice! Also very good! Just real hard to believe this is real....... unless you can explain to me how you waited four hours to eat it? I sure don't believe that's possible!!! ;)
That baby looks like it has a few calories in it. Couple of questions.
1. How done is the steak after the squish time if you only take the steak to medium in the pan?
2. If you started with 3 steaks and it looks like you only put 2 steaks in the bread,where did the other one go? :o
Now that's multi-layering a sandwich
WOWSER!!! That really looks awesome!
Let's see... we start with some rare ribeyes... 10-4?
(I can do this...)
Burp.
Where wuz I?
What now?
Awrighten.
Interesting. 8)
and I need to feed my sourdough starter this weekend. ::)
Go for it!

looks great, I would leave out the fungii and add some green peppers. :)
Sounds interesting. We will be having a barn raising (really shop building) party later this year. I could get a couple of those ready in the morning and then by lunch time, the 4 hour "weight" would be over ... hummm .... sounds workable. :D
That does look mighty good. Nice job Squirt. You can layer just about anything, Rick would probably add some of his smoked dill pickles to the sammie.

I didn't make this, but I could see a killer Reuben made with corned beef and a rye bread bowl..
Don't worry about calories. The weights squeeze them right out. ;D ;D ;D That looks incredible.
Don't mean this bump this, but that just looks fantastic.
My concern is the danger zone issue letting sit out for four hours. Not sure that contraption would fit in my fridge.
Am I missing something here?

Chef eats the third while waiting for the 4 hour press to be done...at least I know I would if I could afford ribeyes.
what happened to the 3rd steak?
WOW,Now that's a Meal :)
