Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb beef ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Optional: sliced mushrooms, jalapeños for topping
Dairy
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
Other
- 1 bag frozen French fries (about 1 lb)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Bake Fries: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy, following the recommended time on the package.
- Sauté Vegetables: While the fries are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté them for 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Cook Steak: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the thinly sliced ribeye steak. Cook the meat for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Combine the steak with the vegetables and season evenly with salt and pepper.
- Set Oven to Broil: Once the fries are done baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Change the oven setting to broil on high to prepare for melting the cheese.
- Assemble Fries: Evenly spread the steak and vegetable mixture over the baked fries on the baking sheet. Generously sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the top.
- Broil to Melt Cheese: Place the assembled fries under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the provolone cheese melts and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the Philly Steak & Cheese Fries hot. Optionally, top with sliced mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor and spice.
Notes
- You can customize your toppings by adding mushrooms or jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Be careful watching the fries under the broiler as cheese can burn quickly.
- Use thinly sliced ribeye steak for the best tender results and authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
- If you don’t have frozen fries, fresh fries can also be used but require longer bake times.
