Crisp fries loaded with juicy steak and melted cheese—now that's hard to pass up. This combo hits the spot when you just want some gooey, cheesy goodness with a little crunch. Great for hanging out with friends, family get-togethers, or whenever you need a pick-me-up snack. Each bite’s got melty cheese, tasty beef, and plenty of crispy fries.

INGREDIENTS

  • Chopped green onions: Sprinkle these for a hint of sharpness and a bit of color right at the end.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Gives a little edge and balances out all that rich cheese and steak.
  • 2 tbsp flour: Helps thicken up that cheese sauce so it turns out nice and silky, not runny.
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese: Melts down into the sauce and blankets everything in a cheesy hug.
  • 2 cups milk: Makes the sauce creamy and smooth so it coats every fry and steak piece.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder: Brings a deep, garlicky flavor to the meat—just what you want.
  • 2 lbs fries: The base layer for all the tasty stuff. Go golden and crispy.
  • 1 lb shaved steak: Thin beef works best; it cooks up fast and tastes amazing.
  • 2 tbsp butter: Melt this first for that creamy, rich start to your cheese sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 6:
Scatter some green onions over everything for a fresh, zesty finish. Serve hot so you get that perfect cheesy pull from every bite.
Step 5:
Spread out your fries on a big dish, layer on the steak, cover with cheese sauce, and repeat if you want more layers. Make sure each fry gets some cheesy love.
Step 4:
Get your fries sizzling and golden in the oven or air fryer while you tackle the steak.
Step 3:
Heat up a big pan with oil, toss in the beef, add garlic powder and salt, and cook till browned and done. Stir every so often so nothing burns.
Step 2:
Pour in your milk a bit at a time, keep whisking for a few minutes as the sauce gets thick. Lower the heat, drop in the mozzarella, melt it down, and keep it warm for pouring later.
Step 1:
Start off by melting some butter in a pot on medium. Whisk in the flour and stir around for a minute or two to get rid of that raw taste.

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Enjoy this dish fresh out of the oven—the fries stay crunchy and the cheese is gooey. Dip extras in ketchup, ranch, or some of that leftover cheese sauce if you’re feeling it.
  • Leftovers? Pop what’s left into a tight-sealing container in your fridge and eat within 2 days. Warm them up in the oven or air fryer and they’ll crisp up again.
  • This is a crowd-pleaser for parties and lazy nights. Whether it’s the main treat or just an appetizer, it goes fast every time!

Pro Chef Hacks

  • Chef Giada De Laurentiis: "Grating your own mozzarella makes the sauce melt smoother and tastes way better than the pre-shredded version."
  • Chef Ina Garten: "If you're pinched for time, grab a store-bought cheese sauce. It’s quick, but making your own is still tops."
  • Chef Bobby Flay: "Amp up the texture by tossing the whole thing in the oven after layering. The cheese bubbles and the fries crisp right up!"

Ingredients

01 2 lbs fries.
02 1 lb thinly sliced steak.
03 2 tbsp cooking oil (for cooking steak).
04 1 tsp garlic powder.
05 1/2 tsp salt.
06 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for sauce).
07 2 cups milk.
08 2 tbsp all-purpose flour.
09 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
10 Chopped green onions for topping.

Instructions

Step 01

Grab a medium saucepan, warm up the butter on low-medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until smooth. Let it cook for about 1 or 2 minutes so there's no raw flour taste left.

Step 02

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Stir until the mixture gets thick, which should take around 3-5 minutes.

Step 03

Turn down the heat and mix in the mozzarella until it's completely melted. Keep it warm and set aside.

Step 04

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a big skillet on medium. Toss in the steak, season with garlic powder and salt, and let it cook until browned and done, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 05

Either follow the package directions to cook your fries or fry them in hot oil until they're crispy and golden brown.

Step 06

On a serving plate, spread out the fries. Add some steak on top, drizzle the cheese sauce generously, and garnish with green onions. Repeat layers if you like.
