Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 24 ounces frozen crinkle-cut fries
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Steak and Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound lean rib eye steak, thinly sliced (freeze for 20 minutes before slicing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Toppings

  • 8 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
  • Cheez Whiz (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bake fries: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the fry package. Spread the frozen crinkle-cut fries on a baking sheet in a single layer, season generously with salt and black pepper, and bake until golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes depending on the oven and fry brand.
  2. Sauté vegetables: While the fries bake, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and green bell peppers and sauté until they soften and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Cook steak: Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the skillet with the vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook, stirring frequently, until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Assemble: Transfer the hot, baked fries onto an oven-safe platter or baking dish. Evenly spread the cooked steak and vegetable mixture over the fries. Then sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly on top of everything.
  5. Broil: Place the assembled platter under the oven broiler for 1-2 minutes, just enough to melt and slightly brown the cheese. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and optionally drizzle with Cheez Whiz for extra cheesiness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Freezing the steak before slicing makes it easier to achieve thin, uniform strips.
  • Baking fries instead of frying them gives a crisp texture with less oil.
  • The Cheez Whiz topping is optional but adds a nostalgic creaminess.
  • Feel free to use mozzarella or American cheese if provolone is unavailable.
  • Use a hot oven broiler and monitor closely when melting cheese to prevent burning.
