Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle the smoked paprika, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

When the chips are halfway through baking, heat a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid on medium-high heat. Add the beef along with the juices from the packet.

Simmer on low with the lid on until tender enough to shred with a fork, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the beef is piping hot throughout.

3

While the beef simmers, in a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, olive oil and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. 

Add the slaw mix and toss to evenly coat. Set aside to pickle. 

4

Once tender, remove the lid and shred the beef. Stir in the BBQ sauce.

Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat. Cover to keep warm.

5

Halve the burger buns. 

Pop the burger buns into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

6

When everything's ready, spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) over the bun lids.

Top the bun bases with the pulled beef and some of the slaw, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.

Serve with the paprika chips and any remaining slaw on the side.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The pulled beef was generally enjoyed, with some finding it delicious and flavoursome. A few noted the BBQ taste could be stronger.
  • Ease of prep: Several found the dish messy to eat, with the beef not staying in the bun well.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding cheese for extra flavour. Reduce mayo to keep the dish warmer, and serve with corn on the cob.
  • Texture: Some found the beef tender and delicious, while others experienced it as chewy or gristly.
  • Sides: The paprika chips were well-received. For crispier results, consider using oven chips instead of fresh potatoes.
