# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut potatoes into fries, toss with vegetable oil, smoked paprika, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake frozen fries according to package instructions.
02 - In a bowl, combine steak strips with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Let marinate while fries bake.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear steak strips for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove from heat and rest.
04 - Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Divide crispy fries among four bowls. Top with steak strips, sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and parsley. Drizzle with sauce and serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It combines the satisfaction of a steak dinner with the relaxed vibe of loaded potato wedges.
- You get maximum flavor payoff with incredibly simple pantry ingredients and easy cleanup.
02 -
- Overcrowding the skillet will cause the steak to steam rather than sear so cook it in batches if necessary.
- Letting the meat rest for a few minutes before serving ensures the juices stay inside the strips rather than spilling onto the cutting board.
03 -
- Patting the steak completely dry with a paper towel before adding the seasoning guarantees a flawless crust.
- Placing the fries directly on the oven rack instead of a pan allows air to circulate completely around them making them incredibly crispy.
