Heart-Shaped Beef Kebabwith Tomato Sauce and Matchstick Potatoes

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

2. After marinating, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the beef strips until browned, about 2‑3 minutes.

3. Reduce heat to medium, add optional butter, red pepper, garlic powder (or minced garlic), and a pinch of black pepper; continue cooking until the beef is tender, about 3‑4 minutes.

4. While the beef cooks, melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add sugar and let it caramelize lightly.

5. Add grated tomatoes and a pinch of salt to the butter‑sugar mixture; simmer for 8‑10 minutes until the sauce thickens and darkens.

6. Prepare the potatoes: cut into match‑stick shapes, rinse, dry, and fry in 2 cups olive oil heated to 350°F (350°F) until golden and crispy, about 3‑4 minutes.

7. Drain the fried potatoes on paper towels and lightly season with salt.

8. Assemble the dish: spread the match‑stick potatoes on a serving plate, drizzle with the garlic‑yogurt mixture, and top with the seared beef.

9. Pour the rich tomato sauce over the beef kebab.

10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
