# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
02 -
1 tsp garlic salt
03 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
04 -
1 green bell pepper, sliced
05 -
1 white or yellow onion, thinly sliced
06 -
6 slices White American cheese or preferred melting cheese
07 -
1 lb frozen waffle fries
08 -
1–2 tbsp olive oil, for sautéing
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure fries crisp and cheese melts evenly.
02 -
Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat with olive oil. Add steak in a single layer, season with garlic salt and black pepper, and sear for 3 minutes, stirring once. Remove while still slightly pink.
03 -
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onion and bell pepper over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened yet slightly crisp. Set aside.
04 -
Spread frozen waffle fries evenly in the skillet. Top with 3–4 cheese slices, followed by half the steak and vegetables. Repeat layers and finish with remaining cheese.
05 -
Place skillet in oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbling, and edges are golden brown.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Partially freeze steak before slicing for easier thin cuts.
02 -
Use a cast iron skillet for optimal heat retention and crispier results.
03 -
Pre-bake fries for 5 minutes before layering for added crispness.
