Directions
- To make the chips, place the potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes have just softened, then remove from the heat, drain and pat dry.
- Heat the oil in a pot and deep-fry the potato chips until golden. Place the chips on paper towel to drain, then set aside and keep warm.
- Mix together the ginger-and-garlic paste, chilli flakes, coriander, curry powder, cumin and salt and combine with the steak, making sure the steak is well coated with the spices.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until soft, then add the steak and fry for 5–6 minutes until the meat has browned.
- Add the tomato, brown sugar and brown onion soup powder, mix well and cook until the meat is tender and the steak sauce has thickened.
- Mix the sauce ingredients together.
- Cut open the baguettes, butter each side and spread with the sauce. Add a layer of lettuce, tomato and cucumber, and then a layer of chips. Finish with the steak and steak sauce, and top with some grated Cheddar if you like. Close the sandwich and enjoy!
