Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. In a bowl, toss the chips with plenty of sunflower spray and salt. Spread out on a baking tray, lined with nonstick baking paper, and cook for 30 mins, tossing every so often, until evenly cooked and golden.
- Meanwhile, heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with the steak seasoning and spray with a little sunflower spray. Cook for 2 mins on each side (for medium-rare), or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and leave to rest for 5 mins, before slicing.
- Arrange the ciabatta on a baking tray and bake until lightly toasted. Remove, then top each bottom half with a cheese slice. Return to the oven until melted. Top the cheesy halves with the steak, sauerkraut and rocket, then sandwich with the remaining ciabatta halves. Serve with the fries, mustard and dill sauce and gherkins.
