Ultimate Gatsby Sandwich

Ingredients

French loaf

1, cut in half lengthwise

Steak (sirloin or rump)

1 pound, sliced

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Piri Piri sauce

1/2 cup, plus extra for serving

Lettuce

1 cup, shredded

Tomato

1, sliced

Pickled gherkins

1/2 cup, sliced

Chips (French fries)

2 cups, cooked

Instructions

1. Begin by preheating your pan or grill over medium-high heat.
2. While the pan heats up, cut the French loaf in half lengthwise and set aside.
3. Generously season the sliced steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
4. Cook the steak in the hot pan for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
5. Spread a generous amount of Piri Piri sauce on the inside of both halves of the French loaf, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor.
6. On the bottom half of the loaf, layer the cooked steak, followed by the crispy chips, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickled gherkins. Feel free to add extra Piri Piri sauce for a spicier kick.
7. Carefully place the top half of the French loaf over the fillings and press down gently to secure everything in place.
8. Slice the sandwich into four equal pieces for easy serving. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
