Cooking Steps

Air fry the fries
1

• Cut potato into fries. • Set your air fryer to 200°C. • Place fries into the air fryer basket and drizzle over olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until golden, a further 10-15 minutes. TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Place fries on a lined oven tray, drizzle with olive oil, season and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • Discard any liquid from beef strips packaging. • In a medium bowl, combine Kiwi spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add beef strips and toss to coat.

Cook the beef
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook bacon, turning, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. • Return frying pan over high heat, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Cook the onion
4

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, the brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Return beef to the pan, season with pepper and stir to combine.

Heat the buns & toss the salad
5

• Meanwhile, slice brioche hotdog buns in half lengthways and toast as desired. • In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Spread bottom half of hot dog buns with dill & parsley mayonnaise, then top with bacon, beef-onion mixture and salad. • Divide caramelised beef and onion subs and potato fries between plates to serve. Enjoy!
