Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide fries (no need to peel).
Pop the fries onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the roasted spice and herb blend, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, remove the beef from the packaging. Place in an ovenproof dish along with the juices. Season with salt and pepper and cover loosely with foil.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the beef is piping hot throughout.
Meanwhile, halve and peel the red onion. Thinly slice one half and chop the other half into small pieces.
Halve the lime.
Add the sliced onion to a small bowl with the juice of half the lime and the sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount). Season with a pinch of salt, then set aside to pickle.
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Put the pepper onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 14-16 mins.
In the meantime, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the sweetcorn and remaining onion and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to pick up some nice colour.
While it fries, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the ciabatta. Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
Once the sweetcorn is charred, transfer to a bowl.
Once the pepper is cooked, transfer to a chopping board, cut into small pieces, then add to the bowl with the sweetcorn.
Add the sugar and olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for both amounts) to the bowl. Stir through half the coriander and a squeeze of the remaining lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside for later.
Once the beef is cooked, remove from the oven. Pop the ciabatta in to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Reserve 1 tbsp of beef cooking juices per person, then discard the foil and any remaining cooking juices. Use two forks to shred the beef as finely as you can.
Stir through the smoky base paste with a pinch of sugar, butter (see pantry for amount) and the remaining coriander.
When everything's ready, transfer the ciabatta bases to your plates. Spread over the mayo (see pantry for amount) and top with the shredded baby gem.
Spoon on your pulled beef and finish with your pickled red onion. Sandwich on your ciabatta lids.
Add your salsa and spiced fries to separate bowls and serve alongside.
Enjoy!
