• ---To Make The Sandwich---.
• Toast the bread or bun under a broiler until light golden brown.
• On one slice of the bread, or one half of the hoagie roll, layer the Limerick ham, then the pepperoni, and then the cheese.

• Remove from the broiler, sprinkle with vinaigrette to taste, and top with lettuce, tomato and the other bread slice or roll half.
• Serve hot.

STEAK & CARAMELISED ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
• Drizzle the toasted ciabatta with olive oil, spread the bottom half with the onions and sit the steaks on top. Cover with the watercress and close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta. Cut into four sandwiches and serve two per person. Serve hot.

SHOOTER'S SANDWICH

Steps:

• The steak should be about 2 inches thick, cut from some fine animal. Cut one end off the bread and remove as much center crumb as necessary to allow the steak and mushrooms to fit in snugly when cooked. Quickly sear the meat in a very hot pan, keeping the meat rare. Take from the fire and season well on both sides, then insert it into the hollowed loaf. Grill enough mushrooms to cover the meat and place them over the steak. Replace the removed crust end of the loaf.
• Wrap the whole thing in a double sheet of white blotting paper and secure with string. Then secure again with parchment paper and more string. (Or use foil and film). Place under a weighted board for 6 hours. When eating this sandwich just cut off a slice as required.
