Make the tomato sauce: Melt butter in a pan. Add tomato paste and red pepper paste. Cook until fragrant. Add tomato sauce, salt, and paprika. Simmer until slightly thickened. Prepare the yogurt sauce: Mix yogurt with crushed garlic and a pinch of salt. Assembly Spread crispy fries on a plate. Spoon garlicky yogurt over the fries. Add some tomato sauce. Place the cooked beef on top. Drizzle a little more tomato sauce. Finish with chopped parsley.
