Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ribeye steak, thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
Sides and Toppings:
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) frozen french fries
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) provolone cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven according to French fries packaging guidelines for optimal crispiness.
- Arrange frozen fries on a baking sheet and roast until golden and crunchy, following recommended cooking time.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high temperature, sizzling sliced steak with diced onions and bell peppers.
- Season the meat and vegetables with salt and black pepper, stirring occasionally until steak develops a rich caramelized exterior and vegetables become translucent.
- Transfer crispy fries from the oven to a serving platter, creating an even layer as the base.
- Distribute the seared steak and vegetable mixture evenly across the hot fries.
- Generously scatter provolone cheese over the steak and fries, ensuring complete coverage.
- Return the loaded platter to the oven for 3-5 minutes, allowing cheese to melt completely and become slightly bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a minute to prevent burning.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for added color and herbal freshness.
- Serve immediately while cheese is gooey and fries remain crisp.
Notes
- Opt for thin-sliced ribeye or sirloin for the most tender and flavorful steak that cooks quickly and evenly.
- Choose high-quality frozen French fries or hand-cut potatoes for a crispier base that holds up well under the steak and cheese.
- Consider using a cast-iron skillet for better heat distribution and creating a perfect sear on the steak, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cheese options like sharp cheddar or pepper jack to add an extra kick of flavor and customize the dish to personal taste preferences.
