# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 lb thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
02 -
1 tsp garlic salt
03 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
04 -
1 green bell pepper, sliced
05 -
1 onion, thinly sliced (white or yellow)
06 -
6 slices white American cheese
07 -
1 lb frozen waffle fries
08 -
1–2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure cheese melts evenly and fries crisp properly.
02 -
Heat an oven-safe skillet with olive oil over high heat. Add steak in a single layer, season with garlic salt and pepper, and sear for about 3 minutes, stirring once. Remove while slightly pink.
03 -
In the same skillet, sauté sliced onions and bell pepper for 5 minutes until soft but still crisp. Set aside.
04 -
Spread frozen waffle fries evenly in the skillet. Top with 3–4 cheese slices, then layer half the steak and sautéed vegetables. Repeat with remaining steak, vegetables, and cheese.
05 -
Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling with golden edges.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
Partially freezing steak before slicing makes it easier to cut thinly.
02 -
Using a cast iron skillet ensures even heat and optimal crisping.
03 -
Pre-baking fries for 5 minutes before layering helps enhance their texture.
04 -
Cheese slices melt more uniformly than shredded cheese and give better coverage.
