Equipment
- Skillet
- oven-safe pan
Ingredients
- 680 g frozen thick-cut French fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 200 g sirloin steak or preferred steak
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
For Fries:
- Prepare the frozen fries according to the package instructions in either an oven or an air fryer until they are golden brown and crispy.
For Steak and Vegetables:
- While the fries are cooking, trim any visible fat from the steak and cut it into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it remains juicy. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper over medium heat for about 4 minutes until they soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
For Assembly:
- Once the fries are fully cooked, spread them evenly across a large oven-safe pan. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar mixture over the fries, then layer with the cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Place the pan underneath a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately for maximum flavor.
Notes
For added flavor, consider seasoning the steak with garlic powder or paprika. You could also try using other melty cheeses like provolone or cheese sauce for a different texture. Adding sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce will give it a kick, and for a twist, substitute sweet potato fries or tater tots. Pre-shaved steak or thinly sliced deli roast beef can also make prep quicker.
