Loaded Steakhouse Fries with Spicy Ranch Recipe
Here’s how to make this comforting, flavor-packed dish in a few easy steps.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb frozen steak fries (or homemade fries, if preferred)
- 8 oz steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1-2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (as needed for frying steak)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fries:
Cook the steak fries according to package instructions, ensuring they’re golden and crispy. If making fries from scratch, slice potatoes, toss with oil and seasoning, and bake at 425°F (220°C) until crispy. - Cook the Steak:
Season the steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little cooking oil. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium rare), or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces. - Prepare the Spicy Ranch:
In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing, sour cream, hot sauce, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Adjust the spice level by adding more hot sauce if desired. - Assemble the Loaded Fries:
Place the cooked fries on a large serving platter or baking sheet. Top with the steak pieces, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts. - Add Finishing Touches:
Drizzle the spicy ranch over the loaded fries and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor. - Serve & Enjoy:
Serve immediately and watch these loaded steakhouse fries disappear—they’re a guaranteed hit!
Pro Tips for Perfect Loaded Fries:
- Use a High-Quality Steak: A good cut of steak, like ribeye or sirloin, adds an extra layer of richness to this dish.
- Crispier Fries: For ultra-crispy fries, use an air fryer or double-fry your potatoes.
- Customize the Heat: Adjust the level of hot sauce in the ranch to suit your taste buds. Add jalapeños for an extra spicy kick.
