- Fast
- Easy
- Giftable
- Crowd-pleasing
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (your choice of cut) – I love using ribeye for its tenderness, but any cut will do!
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into fries – Russets are fantastic for that crispy texture.
- 1 bell pepper, sliced – Feel free to use any color you like for a fun presentation.
- 1 onion, sliced – Sweet onions add a lovely flavor.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil – This helps achieve that golden crispiness.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder – A little garlic goes a long way in flavor.
- 1 teaspoon paprika – This adds a nice smoky touch.
- Salt and pepper to taste – Essential for seasoning your steak and fries.
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) – It brightens up the dish.
How to Make Steak & Pepper Fries Plate 🌶️✨
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is the perfect temperature for crispy fries!
- In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the fries are evenly coated.
- Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them cook evenly and get extra crispy.
- Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them towards the end!
- While the fries are baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then cook them in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Don’t forget to let them rest for a few minutes after cooking!
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Slice the rested steaks and serve them alongside the baked pepper fries. Top with the sautéed peppers and onions, and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Substitutions & Additions
If you want to mix things up, here are a few substitutions and additions to consider:
- Try sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a healthier twist.
- Add some cheese on top of the fries during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy delight.
- Swap out the bell pepper for mushrooms or zucchini for a different flavor profile.
Tips for Success
- Make sure your fries are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can lead to soggy fries.
- Letting the steak rest after cooking helps retain its juices, making it more tender.
- You can prep the veggies ahead of time to save even more time during dinner prep.
How to Store Steak & Pepper Fries Plate 🌶️✨
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare with this dish), here’s how to store them:
- Place the steak and fries in separate airtight containers.
- They will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
- To reheat, use an oven or air fryer for the fries to retain their crispiness.
FAQs
- Can I use frozen fries? Absolutely! Just adjust the cooking time according to the package instructions.
- What cut of steak is best? Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon are all excellent choices!
- Can I make this dish ahead of time? You can prep the ingredients ahead, but it’s best to bake the fries and cook the steak just before serving for the best texture.
