Directions
- Place a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, once the pan is hot, add the lard, olive oil, garlic and bay leaf.
- Let it cook for a minute before adding the onion, let it simmer for about 8 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the canned tomatoes and the beef stock, bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the remaining sauce ingredients, the port wine, beer, piri-piri and Worcestershire sauce, cook for another 10 minutes.
- With a hand mixer, blend everything until smooth and let the the sauce simmer for 30 minutes (the texture should be similar to a gravy, but slightly more liquidy).
- If necessary, add some corn starch to thicken to your taste (make sure to dissolve it in cold water before adding to the mixture).
- Let it cook until it reaches your preferred texture, season it with salt and black pepper and set it aside.
- Place a frying pan over high heat and fry the sausages in their own fat, then use the remaining fat to fry the steak.
- Finally, lightly fry the ham slices.
- Slightly toast the bread slices.
- On a plate, place one toasted slice of bread, then a slice of cheese, ham, steak, the sausages, and the final bread slice.
- Fry the egg, place it on top of the sandwich, cover it with the other cheese slices, leaving the egg-yolk visible.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then pour it over the top of the sandwich (to taste).
- The hot sauce will melt the cheese.
- Serve it with a side of homemade fries.
