Here’s a recipe for Philly Steak Cheese Fries that combines the flavors of a Philly cheesesteak with crispy fries:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb frozen or homemade French fries
- 1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin works best)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (or cheese sauce if preferred)
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
- Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or ranch dressing
Instructions:
- Cook the fries:
- Prepare the French fries according to the package instructions or make your own homemade fries by cutting potatoes, seasoning them with olive oil and salt, and baking them until crispy.
- Sear the steak:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- Cook the onions and peppers:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the dish:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler.
- Place the cooked fries on a baking sheet. Top the fries with the cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers.
- Sprinkle shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (and cheddar if using) over the top.
- Broil the fries:
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and top with any optional toppings like jalapeños, hot sauce, or ranch dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
