Instructions
- Cut potatoes into consistent fries. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fries in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy, working in batches if needed. Season with salt and pepper while hot and drain on paper towels.
- Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add back the beef with paprika, chili flakes, and mixed herbs.
- Add chopped tomato to the pan and stir everything together. Simmer for 8-10 minutes so the beef becomes tender and the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and extra chili flakes as desired.
- Combine shredded cabbage and julienned carrot in a bowl. Drizzle with vinegar and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Arrange the golden fries on one side of a large plate, pile the spiced beef strips in the middle, and place the fresh coleslaw on the other side. Add a lime slice in the center as garnish and for squeezing over everything at the table.

Notes
For extra crispy fries, cut them thicker and ensure oil is very hot before adding. The beef can be made ahead and reheated gently. Make the coleslaw fresh for best texture, though it can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead. Adjust chili flakes based on your heat preference. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
