Loaded Steak Fries
Description
Skip going out to the bar, because these loaded steak fries are all you need. A simple marinade brings a flavorful grilled steak to these loaded fries. Frozen fries are baked, then topped with a homemade cheese sauce, sliced steak, and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup light beer
- 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 lime
- 1 pound sirloin filet steak
- 1 (32 ounce) package frozen French fries
- cooking spray
Cheese Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
Directions
- Place beer, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze in lime juice. Add steak, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread fries onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, 25 to 30 minutes, or per package instructions.
- Meanwhile, make cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour; whisk continuously until mixture turns golden and forms a smooth paste. Pour in half and half and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir garlic powder, oregano, and dill into the sauce.
- Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Cook steak on the preheated until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Place French fries evenly on a platter; pour cheese sauce over fries. Top with sliced steak, tomato, red onions, and thinly sliced jalapenos. Serve immediately.
