Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your Loaded Philly Cheesesteak Fries:
Step 1: Prepare the Fries
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the bag of frozen fries or according to your homemade recipe.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, usually around 20-25 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Step 2: Cook the Steak and Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced steak to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the steak is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onions and peppers. Cook until they are soft and caramelized, around 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside with the steak.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add flour and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add the shredded provolone and cheddar cheeses, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Loaded Fries
- Arrange the cooked fries on a large serving platter or individual plates.
- Top with sliced steak, followed by the sautéed onions and peppers.
- Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the top.
- Add optional toppings like jalapeños, parsley, or hot sauce for extra flavor and heat.
