Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 oz lean flank steak, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• ½ cup reduced-fat provolone cheese, shredded (or mozzarella)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Prep the Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired), then cut them into thin fries.
3. Toss the fries in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden brown.

Cook the Philly Steak Topping

1. While the fries are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the flank steak and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
5. Optional: Add a splash of low-sodium soy sauce for extra flavor.

Assemble the Philly Steak Cheese Fries

1. Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven.
2. Layer the cooked steak, onions, and peppers over the fries.
3. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the top.
4. Return the loaded fries to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve & Garnish

1. Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
2. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like a light ranch or hot sauce).
