PHILLY STEAK CHEESE FRIES

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Intensity: Moderate

Ingredients:

• 1 pound frozen French fries
• 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak (or sirloin steak)
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• Optional toppings: sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Bake French Fries:
   • Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen French fries. Bake the fries until they are golden and crispy.
2. Prepare Philly Steak Toppings:
   • While the fries are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the cooked steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the sliced onions, green bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble Cheese Fries:
   • Once the fries are done baking, transfer them to an oven-safe serving dish or a baking sheet. Arrange the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables over the fries.
5. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the steak and vegetables. Then, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
6. Bake Until Cheese Melts:
   • Place the assembled cheese fries under the broiler in your oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Remove the Philly steak cheese fries from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Add any optional toppings you like such as sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or hot sauce.
8. Serve Hot:
   • Serve the Philly steak cheese fries immediately while hot and cheesy for a delicious and satisfying meal or appetizer.
