🧾 Ingredients
- 500g steak, thinly sliced (sirloin, flank, or ribeye works great)
- 1 kg frozen fries
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Garnishes:
- Chopped parsley
- Green onions
- Jalapeños, sour cream, or hot sauce
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Fries:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Spread frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
2️⃣ Cook the Steak:
- While the fries bake, season the steak slices with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the steak in batches (don’t overcrowd) for 3–5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
3️⃣ Assemble & Melt:
- Once the fries are golden, remove them from the oven.
- Top with cooked steak slices, then sprinkle shredded cheddar generously over the top.
- Return the tray to the oven for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4️⃣ Garnish & Serve:
- Top with chopped parsley or green onions if you like.
- Serve hot — straight from the sheet pan or on a platter with forks, toothpicks, or your favorite dipping sauces.
