Ingredients
  

For the Beef Bites
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or beef cubes Choose lean beef cubes for best texture.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For browning the beef.
  • 1 tsp salt Season generously.
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper To taste.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced Adds flavor to the sauce.
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce Use artisanal for better flavor.
  • 2 tbsp honey For sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce Ensure gluten-free if necessary.
For the Fries
  • 4 large potatoes, cut into thick fries Russet potatoes recommended for best texture.
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
For the Coleslaw
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Use Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season & Brown the Beef: Toss the beef cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef until deeply browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Make the Sticky BBQ Sauce: Once the beef is done, add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in BBQ sauce, honey, and soy sauce, then let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Cook the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the thick-cut fries with vegetable oil and salt, then spread them on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Prepare the Coleslaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well-coated.
Assembly
  1. Assemble & Serve: On a plate, arrange the sticky BBQ beef bites on one side, crispy fries on the other, and add the creamy coleslaw. Garnish with chopped parsley and lime halves.

Notes

The dish keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. For freezing, store tightly in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
