Hidden among the meat is cheese and gherkins and if you look carefully you might even be able to spot some salad between the cuts.
It was made by British chef and restaurateur Tristan Welch to mark the launch of TV programme Man v. Food Nation on Food Network UK.
The new show sees host Adam Richman travelling through the United States encouraging people to take on daring food challenges.
