Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the peppers for 5-7 mins until soft. Add the leftover beef and onion mixture, passata, tomato ketchup and mustard. Cook for 2-3 mins until bubbling and slightly thickened. Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Toast the buns under the grill on both sides until golden, then rub the cut sides with garlic, if you like. Put a cheese slice on each of the bottom halves of the buns, then return to the grill for 1-2 mins until slightly melted, then top with the beef mixture and the lids. Serve with gherkins and salad leaves, if you like.
