Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats up, prepare the steak and vegetables for cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Steak
In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet. Season the steak with garlic salt and black pepper. Cook the steak for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned on all sides. The steak should be tender and flavorful by the time it’s finished cooking. Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
After removing the steak, reserve 1 tablespoon of the liquid in the skillet, and discard the rest. This reserved liquid will add extra flavor to the vegetables. Return the skillet to the stove and add the sliced onion and green bell pepper. Cook the vegetables in the reserved liquid over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes, or until they are softened but still slightly crisp. The onion should be translucent, and the bell pepper should still have a bit of bite. Once done, remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4: Layer the Fries and Steak
Remove the skillet from the heat and begin assembling the layers. Start by adding a layer of McCain Quick Cook Waffle Cut Fries to the bottom of the skillet. These fries will provide a crispy, flavorful base for the dish. Next, place 4 slices of white American cheese over the fries, followed by a layer of the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables. Repeat these layers, finishing with the remaining slices of cheese on top. The cheese will melt into the fries, steak, and vegetables, creating a deliciously gooey texture.
Step 5: Bake
Place the oven-safe skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The fries should be golden and crispy around the edges, while the cheese will create a rich, creamy layer on top. If you want an extra-crispy finish, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes—just be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the fries are ready, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh pop of color, and dig in while everything is hot and melty. These Philly Steak Cheese Fries are perfect for sharing, but you might find yourself keeping them all to yourself—they’re that good!
