Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Onion Mixture
- 500g steak, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking (about 1 tablespoon)
Fries and Toppings
- 1 kg frozen fries
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the fries: Preheat your oven and cook the frozen fries according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes.
- Prepare the steak and onions: While the fries bake, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and thinly sliced steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the dish: Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and evenly top them with the cooked steak and onion mixture.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the steak and fries. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.
Notes
- You can use fresh-cut fries in place of frozen if preferred, adjusting cook times accordingly.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the steak mixture.
- Serve with a side of sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for even cooking of the steak and onions.
- Make sure to thaw frozen fries slightly if your oven requires it for even baking.
