Jan Braai’s recipe for a gatsby sandwich

How to make this delicious Western Cape cult classic

Jan Braai’s braai guide – Jan Braai Red Hot which is now available in paperback – contains recipes for beef, chicken, lamb, seafood, pork, ostrich and venison, as well as loads of other braai ideas
The Gatsby sandwich is a cult classic in the Western Cape. It’s traditionally served on the long white bread roll known as a baguette and is stuffed with generous helpings of your favourite ingredients.
"Our choice of meat for the braai Gatsby is masala-spiced steak," says Jan. "Commercially sold Gatsbys usually contain French fries, but we’re going one up on that by including home-made potato röstis instead."
