Instructions
- 11. Prepare the marinade: thinly slice the beef sirloin, combine with lemon juice, water, olive oil, and salt; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

- 44. While the beef cooks, melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add sugar and let it caramelize lightly.
- 55. Add grated tomatoes and a pinch of salt to the butter‑sugar mixture; simmer for 8‑10 minutes until the sauce thickens and darkens.
- 66. Prepare the potatoes: cut into match‑stick shapes, rinse, dry, and fry in 2 cups olive oil heated to 347°F (350°F) until golden and crispy, about 3‑4 minutes.
