Ingredients

• 1 lb steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 8-10 slices of white American cheese
• 20 oz bag McCain Quick Cook Waffle Cut Fries
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F or 220°C and prepare the steak and vegetables.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the thinly sliced steak seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper for 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Reserve 1 tablespoon of liquid from the skillet, discard the rest, and sauté sliced onion and green bell pepper in the reserved liquid for 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
4. Layer McCain Quick Cook Waffle Cut Fries in the skillet, add 4 slices of white American cheese, then the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables. Repeat layers and finish with remaining cheese on top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally, broil for 1 to 2 minutes for extra crispiness.
6. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, and serve hot. Enjoy your Philly Steak Cheese Fries.

Tips and Conclusion

Bonus Tip:
For an added layer of flavor, try marinating the steak in a little Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce before cooking. This will give the meat a deeper, more robust taste that pairs perfectly with the creamy cheese and crispy fries. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce over the top before baking.

You can also experiment with different cheeses if you prefer. While white American cheese melts beautifully and gives a creamy finish, provolone or mozzarella would work well, adding a different flavor profile to the dish. And for a more decadent version, you can add a layer of crispy bacon bits or caramelized onions.

Conclusion:
These Philly Steak Cheese Fries are the perfect indulgent comfort food, combining the best elements of a Philly cheesesteak with the crispiness of waffle fries. The seasoned steak, sautéed vegetables, and layers of melted cheese come together in one irresistible dish that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering. Whether you’re serving them as a hearty appetizer or enjoying them as a main course, these fries deliver on flavor and texture.
