- Gordon Ramsay clapped back at a troll who criticized his steak sandwich on TikTok.
- They said Ramsay used too much butter, had the wrong pan, and didn't cook the steak well enough.
- Ramsay's simple response — "Okay Gordon Ramsay" — has since gone viral.
Gordon Ramsay isn't just a Michelin-starred chef, a TV star, and the master of 10-minute pasta. He's also the comeback king.
And this week, Ramsay proved that trying to troll him might just make you look like an idiot sandwich.
It all began when Ramsay posted a TikTok video that showed him making a steak sandwich.
"No Idiot Sandwiches with this #recipe," he wrote in the caption. "My delicious #Steak #Sandwich is perfect for summer!"
The video — which was posted on June 24 and has since racked up nearly 70 million views — begins with Ramsay smacking his steak with a rolling pin.
It continues with him toasting two slices of bread, then cooking the steak in the same pan alongside rosemary, garlic, butter, and onion.
Ramsay removes the steak from the pan and makes a mayonnaise-based spread while the onion slices continue to cook.
Once everything is ready, Ramsay spoons some of the spread on a slice of toasted bread and tops it with arugula and onion. He slices the steak, places it on top, and seasons it with salt. Ramsay finishes everything off with some more onion slices, arugula, and the second piece of toasted bread.

The popular TikTok video received plenty of comments, and many fans jokingly trolled Ramsay's talent.
"This guy should try cooking, he's good at it," one person wrote.
"Did you ever consider going into the cooking industry? You would make an excellent chef!" another added.
But one commenter wasn't impressed, and had plenty of criticism for the Michelin-starred chef.
"Too much butter. Wrong pan used. Didn't cook the steak well enough. Poor choice of toppings. You should also never smack a steak like that," they wrote.
The comment caught Ramsay's eye — and he had the perfect clapback, simply writing: "Okay Gordon Ramsay."
Ramsay posted a TikTok video of his response on Sunday, which has since been viewed more than 7.7 million times.
"I'm always watching," he wrote in the cheeky caption.
