### Directions for the sauce
|
|
|
|
1. In a big saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the garlic and the onions. Cook them until golden.
|
|
2. Pour the beer and simmer until the alcohol evaporates. It's around 5 minutes.
|
|
3. Pour the beef broth, the fried tomato sauce, the port wine, the Piripiri and the butter to give shine to the sauce. Add the cornstarch slowly avoiding lumps. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce looks thick.

### Directions for the Francesinhas
|
|
|
|
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F)
|
|
2. Cook the beef chopped in small strings. Season with salt and black pepper.
|
|
3. Cook the linguiças sliced in half lengthwise.
|
|
4. Take 4 slices of bread for each Francesinha. Cut the center of two slices to make room for the filling. The other two will be the bottom and top of the francesinhas.
|
|
5. Fill the bread with the sausages, the beef and the ham roughly chopped. Cover the francesinhas with the cheese and melt in the oven for 5 minutes.
|
|
6. Cover with the sauce and serve with french fries.
