Equipment
- 1 oven-safe skillet for cooking and baking
- 1 oven preheated to 425°F (220°C)
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion sliced
- 8 –10 slices White American cheese or mozzarella
- 1.25 lb frozen waffle-cut fries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat; add the steak slices, season with garlic salt and black pepper, and cook until browned, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the steak juices in the skillet, then add the sliced bell pepper and onion; sauté until soft and caramelized, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Remove the skillet from heat and evenly spread the waffle fries across the bottom.
- Layer half the cheese slices over the fries, then add the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables.
- Repeat with remaining cheese slices on top, finishing the layering.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve hot; garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Use mozzarella instead of American cheese for a milder flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
- Add fresh herbs before serving for brightness.
