Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or cook fries in the air fryer according to package directions.

  2. Spread fries on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  3. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until crispy and golden.

  4. Sprinkle lightly with salt once done.

Step 2: Cook the Steak and Veggies

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly caramelized.

  3. Push veggies to the side and add steak slices.

  4. Season with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

  5. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through.

  6. Mix everything together and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

  2. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.

  3. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

  4. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Philly Cheese Fries

  1. Transfer hot fries to a large serving platter or cast-iron skillet.

  2. Pile on the steak and veggie mixture evenly.

  3. Drizzle warm cheese sauce generously over the top.

  4. Add your favorite garnishes like jalapeños or parsley if desired.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

 

  1. Serve hot with forks or shareable spoons.

  2. Optional: Serve with ketchup, ranch, or extra cheese sauce on the side.

Notes

Use Thinly Sliced Steak – For tender bites that cook quickly.
Cook Fries Extra Crispy – Helps them stand up to toppings and cheese sauce.
Don’t Skip the Cheese Sauce – Melty, homemade sauce makes it truly next level.
Double the Batch – This dish disappears fast, especially at parties.
Add Mushrooms – Sautéed mushrooms add even more Philly flavor.
