A Shooter's Sandwich Is An Easier Version Of Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington — the British classic of steak and mushrooms wrapped in flaky pastry — is not a quick dinner to make, but you can simplify it into a shooter's sandwich.

The shooter's sandwich brings together mushrooms and beef

in a similar way to the beef Wellington, but ditches the pastry in favor of a whole crusty loaf.

While it has fewer steps than a beef Wellington, it does require a good chunk of time, as the sandwich is typically pressed for several

hours to make the bread denser.

To make the sandwich, slice off the top of the bread and scoop it out. Then add mushroom duxelles, mustard, horseradish, and cooked beef tenderloin.

Once you put everything together, you have to wrap and squash it under something flat for several hours until it's compact. This lets the flavor soak into the bread.
