Serving4
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak, (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, (cut into strips)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup pico de gallo, optional topping
- ½ cup guacamole, optional topping
- ½ cup sour cream, optional topping
Instructions
- In a shallow tupperware or Ziploc bag, add steak, lemon juice, 3/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper. Stir or shake to combine. Place in refrigerator and let marinade for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place russet potatoes in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Toss with hands to coat all the potatoes with oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika and salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25 minutes, turn them over, and bake for an additional 25 minutes (or until golden brown and cooked all the way through).
- Remove steak from the refrigerator and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches desired doneness.
- Place potatoes on an oven-safe dish and top with steak and cheese. Broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Top with pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Serve warm.
Notes
- If you like a really crispy fry, you can broil your baked french fries for 1-2 minutes after baking them.
