Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 cups French Fries (Thick-cut or steak fries preferred)
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 lb Ribeye Steak (Juicy and tender)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil (For searing the steak)
- 1 cup Bell Peppers (Mixed colors preferred)
- 1 medium Yellow Onion
Cheese
- 1 cup Provolone Cheese (Or mozzarella/pepper jack as alternatives)
- 1/2 cup Cheese Sauce (Optional for added richness)
Seasonings and Garnish
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (Optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Bake or fry the French fries until golden and crispy. If baking, cook for about 20–25 minutes at 425°F. If frying, cook for 5–7 minutes until they reach a crisp texture.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed bell peppers and sliced yellow onion, sautéing for 7–8 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Sear the Steak: Increase the heat on the skillet to high. Add the ribeye steak and sear for 2–3 minutes on one side, then season with salt and pepper. Flip and sear the other side until cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Assemble the Dish: On a baking sheet or oven-safe dish, layer the cooked fries, topped with the sliced ribeye steak, sautéed vegetables, and provolone cheese. Drizzle cheese sauce over the top if using for extra richness.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled dish under the broiler or in the oven at 400°F for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use thick-cut or steak fries for the best texture and heartiness.
- Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Cheese sauce is optional but recommended for added creaminess.
- Sear the steak to your preferred doneness; medium-rare enhances juiciness.
- Garnish with parsley for a fresh color contrast and subtle herb aroma.
