Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb steak (use your favorite cut — skirt, flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (neutral oil with a high smoke point like canola or grapeseed)
  • 4 cups fries (frozen fries for speed or homemade for texture)
  • 2 cups cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone - shredded for best melt)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Remove steak from the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking to reach near room temperature for even searing.
  2. Preheat oven or air fryer for the fries according to package directions, or preheat your deep fryer if frying.
Cooking
  1. Cook the fries according to package instructions or bake homemade fries until golden and crisp. Keep hot on a sheet pan in a warm oven (about 200°F / 95°C).
  2. Season steak lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the steak for 2–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  4. Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Pile hot fries on serving plates, top with sliced steak and scatter shredded cheese so it melts. Broil for 30–60 seconds if necessary.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving hot.

Notes

For a saucier finish, consider adding sautéed onions or bell peppers. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days, reheating to maintain crispness. Can freeze for up to 2 months.
