Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen French fries (or homemade fries)
- ½ lb thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella, American, or cheese sauce)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs or extra cheese sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the fries according to package instructions or preferred method until golden and crispy.
- While fries are cooking, heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onions and peppers, sauté until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
- Push veggies to the side of the skillet and add the sliced steak. Season with salt and pepper and cook until just browned, about 3–4 minutes.
- On a baking sheet or oven-safe dish, layer the cooked fries, then top with the steak and sautéed veggies.
- Sprinkle or pour cheese over the top.
- Broil on high for 1–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or extra cheese sauce if desired.
Notes
- Ribeye gives the best flavor, but sirloin or flank steak work well when thinly sliced.
- For a vegetarian twist, substitute steak with mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives.
- Customize with jalapeños, pepper jack, or a drizzle of ranch or hot sauce.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to keep fries crispy.
